Kevin designed numerous commercial and residential projects throughout Florida, specializing in restaurants, veterinary centers, rehabilitation centers, schools, churches, offices and so much more. He served his clients and community the highest standards of creativity and professionalism.
Kevin loved fishing, skiing, boating, racing, concerts, campfires, any Boston Sport, and all kinds of music, especially Bruce Springsteen. Kevin loved worshipping at his family's home church, Lord of Life Lutheran, in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL.
Kevin and his wife, Stephanie, shared a special and rekindled love story. Kevin's heart was being a father to Michael and Abigail. Kevin loved watching his talented children perform, Michael in Music, Abigail in Ballet. He loved the family dog, Bindi; and cat, Tuxedo. They were constant companions during his cancer journey. Mostly, Kevin loved spending time with his family at home in sunny Florida or at his favorite spot, Sebago Lake, Maine.
