Kevin’s background stems from building and owning a variety of small businesses over the past two decades. During this time, he learned the importance of developing strong relationships and networking is vital to success. Kevin’s main goal has been and continues to be this: Add value to everyone he meets.
During his time as a small business owner, he was fortunate to become connected to the financial industry. Kevin immediately saw the power in making your money work for you and your family.
