MEET
KEVIN
He hails from Chicago Illinois, the “City of Big Shoulders,” and it took Kevin having his own, to bear the heavy circumstances that he grew up in. As a child, Kevin became a ward of the court, and grew up in a single parent household under the custody of his grandmother. He was labeled a “problem-child,” destined to blaze the trail, headed down the wrong path.
​
Kevin’s behavior, and skewed perspective of life, was the result of having an absent father and a mother diagnosed with Schizophrenia. During his motivational speeches, Kevin shares how he identified and developed the strength necessary to overcome a range of challenging circumstances.
KEVIN strives to help others reach their full potential by implementing positive self-talk and personal development through mindset coaching.
Kevin attributes his success to positive self-talk and the mindset shift that occurred at the age of sixteen. This pivotal moment during his life allowed him the ability to become a successful business owner as a teen, graduate 9th in his High School senior class, and earn a scholarship to attend Loyola University Chicago. After completing his Bachelor’s Degree in Biology, with a pre-med concentration and minor in Business, Kevin became a Real Estate Investor and started a Property Management business. Through the daily interactions within his career, he also developed a true appreciation for helping others achieve their goals, which in turn, allowed Kevin to become a high-ranking Executive for multiple organizations. Kevin's passion remained in the development of young people, and he knew that it would only be effective if he began with educational leadership and worked his way down.
His why: to make sure his 2 daughters and other young people can realize their highest potential and create opportunities for them.
A simple mind shift can change how you experience life and shape the way you attack your dreams.
