Background

Kevin met his wife, Josie, while they were both teaching Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank of Israel. They now have three wonderful daughters: Hannah, Emily, and Kaisa. 
Kevin has worn several different hats in his vocational life: shower door installer, waiter, painter, juvenile rehabilitation counselor and program manager at Echo Glen's Children's Center; and for twenty years, a pastor.  

Kevin enjoys his two favorite football teams, his beloved UW Huskies and Seattle Seahawks. He also enjoys golfing, playing the guitar, making homemade pesto, watching Wes Anderson movies, shopping at Goodwill, a good joke, sharing the nuances of the Christian faith and serving in overseas missions. But most of all, Kevin enjoys spending time with his family.
