Kevin received his B.F.A. in Broadcast Communications from Pacific Lutheran University in 1996, where (among other things) he learned how to completely wire and maintain an analog television station -- a skill rendered obsolete by the digital revolution six months later. Around the dawn of the millennium, he spent more than five years working in Hollywood as (among other things) an intern, videographer, audio engineer, security coordinator, secretary, talent escort, page, audience coordinator, actor, production assistant, and writer's assistant. He left the television industry in 2002 and joined the United States Peace Corps, where he served as a volunteer in the Central Asian country of Kazakhstan. He spent the last several years teaching (among other things) English and Computer Science/Technology. He is currently the host and producer of The Get Off My Lawn Podcast, focused on writers and writing and all things creative. When in doubt, he can be bribed with Guinness.
