Biography:

Kevin hails from Wisconsin, where his passion for art and design first took root. As a kid, he participated in numerous art programs, eventually earning himself a Bachelor of Arts degree in fine art. Post-graduation, he packed his bags for North Carolina and dived headfirst into the world of manufacturing graphic design. During this time, he really got into graphic design and photography.
Come 2021, Kevin made the move to Florida, kicking off not one but two fresh journeys. First up, he snagged a gig as a Guest Services Associate at Mote, eventually landing the role of Guest Services Lead. On top of that, he decided to brush up on his graphic design skills, heading back to school in January 2022. He scored an internship with the Community Relations and Communications Department in August 2023, and by September of the same year, he was working full-time as a graphic designer for Mote. His school stint wrapped up in December 2023 with him earning his Associate’s Degree in Graphic Design.
When Kevin’s not busy with work or school, you’ll catch him snapping away with his camera or cruising Sarasota Bay on his paddleboard, often with his trusty 4-legged sidekick Kai tagging along.
