B.S., business administration, UNC Charlotte
M.Ed., college student personnel, Western Carolina University

Originally from the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains of Hendersonville, North Carolina, Kevin moved to Columbia, South Carolina in 2017 after living in various parts of North Carolina, Washington state, New York and even a brief time in Mexico. Kevin's passion for international education amplified significantly in college, as he was able to study Spanish in Querétaro, Mexico for a summer long experience during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. It wasn't long after that, that he graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a bachelor of science in business administration with a major in international business and a minor in Spanish, and a master of education in college student personnel from Western Carolina University. 

For fun you can find Kevin floating down the Saluda River when he's not walking his labradoodle named Brooklyn, traveling with his partner or renovating his house. Kevin also serves as the treasurer to his homeowner’s association and as a landlord to his first ever investment property. Given all these years spent exploring his many interests, they have all led Kevin to a fulfilling career in higher education. Kevin loves working with students, and has been doing so since 2009. Never did he suspect that he, a first-generation college student, would ever work in a college setting, and thus enjoy the mentorship and engagement that goes along with helping prepare our next generation of leaders.
