He was previously on the Board of the Geauga United Way, and the Geauga Community Improvement Corporation.

Throughout his career Kevin has been fortunate to work with many influential people and Kevin has received a lot of valuable advice. However, the best advice came from his father, who was visiting Kevin at his first full-time summer job when he was 13 years old. Kevin had just completed an assignment and was sitting idle, waiting for his boss to give him his next task. When his dad showed up and found him sitting down on the job, he quickly and sternly stated, “It’s about time you start looking around to see what needs to be done and do it, instead of waiting for someone else to tell you what to do.” Kevin has been in perpetual work motion ever since.
Kevin’s outside interests include anything related to cars and target and sporting clay shooting. He enjoys the simple pleasures in life, especially weekend coffee on the front porch with his wife Heidi and spending time with her, their two daughters, and their extended family and friends.
