BiographyThank you for a great session! My Board members commented that your presentation and topic were extremely relevant for their current situations...
Dan Maddux, Executive Director, American Payroll Association (Board Leadership meeting in Cancun)
Your session... was packed to standing-room only, and the participant comments were unanomously enthusiastic! Obviously, you had something to say that others wanted to hear!
Melanie M. Schuman, Sr. Conference Producer, Institute for International Research
It's seldom we get someone with your rich experience and background, and willing to share so generously. You had them engaged the entire workshop; the mix of interaction, speaking, and your stories -- we're still laughing about the "CFO in handcuffs" one! Personally, your keynote address at dinner made me and my staff look good, and we appreciate it.
Chip Wilson, CEO, 360 Solutions, LLC (Annual conference for licensees and consultants)

A decorated 13-year Armed Forces veteran, he served during the first Gulf War, and had tours of duty in Germany, Spain, and Turkey. His last position was as an Air Force First Sergeant - top enlisted position -- for the largest Air Force squadron in Germany.
And "no," you can't see any pictures of him during those lean military years...
Kevin's corporate background includes senior executive roles in human resources, operations and general management for multiple Fortune 1000 and privately-held firms.

His two most popular topics today are:
Leading is Easy... Until it isn't! -- Successful leadership in challenging times
Sit Down, Shut up, and Color! -- Leading the "My" generation
An engaging speaker, Kevin entertains and informs; his sessions are entertaining, interactive, and laced with stories and humor. He connects directly with his audience, relates well with executive teams and blue-collar alike, and uses current events and client situations to add real relevancy to his presentation.
