Kevin is a native Houstonian and still lives in the area with his wife of nearly 30 years. They raised their twin sons, who are in their 20s, in Houston; the boys now live and work in Dallas and New York, respectively. Kevin is passionate about serving his fellow business owners during the most important times of their business lives. If he is not advising a client or working out at one of his fitness studios, you can find Kevin spending time with his family and friends, playing with his dog Scout, or watching his favorite Houston sports teams.
