I have a strong interest in driving value for visionary leaders and ambitious, mission driven organizations seeking to make a meaningful impact. Given the various industries and companies I’ve been a part of, I like to think I have a diverse and grounded perspective. At my core is the unwavering belief in servant leadership - placing the needs and well-being of others at the forefront of my actions.

I started my career in investment banking, both on the equity research and M&A side. Then I spent some time doing venture capital and private equity. Currently, exploring the “operator” side of me at a beverage company called Guayaki Yerba Mate and have done a few stints at startups (with Chief of Staff and finance-related responsibilities). On a personal note, I moved to Los Angeles from Texas (grew up in Austin, TX, went to college at Texas A&M, and lived in Houston for a few years) at the beginning of 2019. I am currently engaged and have a puppy Golden Retriever named Goose. When I’m not going on long walks and exploring new places with my fiancee, Tara, and Goose, you’ll catch me playing pickleball or golfing. On his lazier days, Kevin loves to watch any sports events on TV (and sometimes catches himself watching reality TV shows with Tara).

Being a sounding board, asking “deep” questions to force some introspection and reflection, and sharing my experience (and all the things to or not to do).

On the career front: being a generalist, switching industries, interview prep for IB/PE/HF/VC/startups, and how to add value no matter your experience level.

On the personal front: how to navigate life once there are other aspects of your life that slowly (or immediately) become just as important or more important than your career.

Taking a more "untraditional" path or what I call "not defaulting to the path of least resistance, figuring out how to be engaged with life despite not knowing your “passion”, knowing one's personal values and decision making framework, moving to a city where you know absolutely no one.
