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.
