About Kevin
Kevin is a remarkable Inspirational and Motivational Speaker with a truly unique journey. A former veteran of the Financial Services Industry, he excelled as a top wholesaler in Retirement Income Planning before transitioning to a role as a Financial Advisor.
However, after undergoing multiple spinal reconstructive surgeries, Kevin faced a challenging battle with opioid addiction. This struggle led him to a dark path: addiction, depression, and suicidal ideations became the norm; culminating in armed robberies at a local bank in January 2016. On February 14, 2016, he was arrested and subsequently sentenced to seven years in prison for two felony convictions of Robbery with a Dangerous Instrument.
During his six-year incarceration with the Connecticut Department of Corrections as Inmate #413541, Kevin made a pivotal choice: instead of counting the days behind bars, he resolved to make each day count. With dedication to rigorous study, self-reflection, and support from family, friends, counselors, and the prison priest, Kevin transformed his perspective. He learned to view his arrest not as the worst day of his life but as a pivotal moment of rebirth—a life-saving event that gave him a second chance.
"History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it" - Winston Churchill. This became a mantra for Kevin and with the days turning to months and into years - he began to write his story yet to come.
Now, as a speaker, Kevin shares his extraordinary story of resilience and redemption with audiences across the country. He has reunited with his family and resides in West Hartford, CT, where he embraces each day as a precious gift, empowering others with the lessons he has learned along the way.
