After graduating from Wabash College with a BA in Psychology, Kevin was heavily interested in pursuing a career in Industrial/Organizational Psychology.  “I got a postcard in the mail from a graduate school that had a master’s degree program in Human Resource Management, which sounded a lot like I/O Psychology,” Kevin says. “I didn’t know much about HR at the time, but the prospect of focusing on the people side of an organization was attractive to me.”

Kevin has served as an HR partner in the manufacturing, healthcare and construction industries since obtaining his MHRM in 2001. “I like construction because it’s tangible and permanent. It’s just great to be able to point out projects to family and friends knowing that I had some small part in its creation.”

Kevin focuses on both big picture strategy, as well as the creation and facilitation of programs to recruit, retain, engage and develop team members.

Kevin, his wife and 2 children enjoy playing board and video games together and going on annual camping/shopping trips with their friends.
