Born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts and raised in Madawaska, Maine, Kevin entered the US Army at age 17.  He attended the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California where he studied Czech for a year.  He went on to Texas and, later, what was then West Germany.  

Kevin served as a member of A company, 501st Military Intelligence Battalion, 1st Armored Division.  While living in Europe, he witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe.  He spent considerable time in Prague before the flood of westerners.  

Kevin led a combat intel team, including Kuwaiti nationals, during Desert Storm in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq.  Upon his return to the United States, he worked as an instructor and a course developer at the US Army Intelligence School.

After the military, Kevin worked as a teacher but soon left public education to work in the corporate world.  His consulting took him around the world with clients as varied as Sprint, GM, DoD, Boeing, Telus, Los Alamos Labs, GiTy, Deutche Telekom, the Chinese Space Agency, as well as many others.  He has consulted in Prague, New York City, Calgary, Dallas, Paris, London, Denver, Toronto, Washington D.C., Beijing, and Hong Kong.  He has been invited to present on pedagogical topics at conferences in San Francisco, Chicago, and Atlanta.  

After his first novels were published, he returned to teaching.  He is currently working on several projects and has an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Southern Maine.
