Kevin spends his time fighting for civil liberties, responsible government, and bold solutions to our regions most challenging issues.
When Kevin isn't working by day as a digital marketer, he's volunteering in various neighborhood organizations that work to make our community stronger. Kevin and his wife Sami spend much of their free time running or hiking the many beautiful trails in Monroe County with their dog Winston.- Liberty is empowering: I want to remove government barriers to you helping others and helping yourself
- Members of Congress should be humble enough to know how much they don't know. Law should be about stopping force or fraud, not micromanaging the economy
- Don't Tread on Anyone; Protect the rights and liberties of all individuals
I'm also passionate about trying new approaches to education. A Federal, top-down approach to education doesn't work for everybody. Letting families choose more paths for self-directed learning and online education is our future. Entrepreneurs need more opportunities to offer alternative models to public schooling that better prepare our children for a workforce that's constantly changing.
I didn't make much money to be comfortable, but I kept learning new skills, working hard, and adapting to new situations. Eventually I learned from mentors and taught myself skills to build a new career in digital marketing.
