A proud fan of the K-State Wildcats, Kevin's enthusiasm for his favorite sports team mirrors his dedication to his work. But it's not all about gears and mechanics for Kevin. His favorite performer, Modest Mouse, hints at his eclectic taste in music, a passion that transcends into making music himself.

Imagine Kevin on his ideal day off: you'd find him lacing up his roller skates, exploring a new bar, restaurant, or coffee shop, or maybe diving into a game of volleyball with friends.

Speaking of tastes, Tanner’s is his go-to spot for a meal, a place where he likely muses over his next engineering challenge or his next culinary experiment.

Kevin's bucket list is as unique as his personality, with "having a cat" sitting at the top. It's this love for cats that also spills over into his other passions, including cooking and roller skating. His favorite treats? Sweettarts and mozzarella sticks or hot Cheetos for those late-night cravings, and when it comes to baked goods, nothing beats a classic brownie.

On a cold day, you'll find him with a peppermint mocha in hand, and when the heat turns up, a Leinenkugel Summer Shandy is his go-to refreshment. These choices reflect a man who appreciates the simple pleasures in life.

Describing Kevin in three words? Helpful, imaginative, and laid-back. These traits not only make him a valuable team member at 5BY5 Engineers but also a delightful person to be around. His imaginative nature is not just confined to his engineering projects; it extends to his hobbies, which include making music and roller skating.

What drives Kevin? The pursuit of mastery in his hobbies and skills, with the ultimate goal of sharing his knowledge with others. This reflects a deep-seated passion for learning and teaching, a quality that's invaluable in both his personal and professional life.
