Kevin’s private sector experience includes nearly two decades with an IT & management consulting firm that had a profit-sharing pension fund, igniting Kevin’s interest in employee ownership models.

Kevin holds a B.S. in Quantitative Business Analysis from Penn State University and is a rabid Nittany Lion sports fan.
