Kevin is a pleasure to work with. He has a growth mindset, and he wants to do what’s best for the business. He’s able to both incorporate best in class practices and tailored solutions to the organization. His ability to work cross-functionally allows him to create great relationships and outcomes that drive inbound lead flow. He’s a huge asset to our marketing team.

I worked alongside Kevin as the Digital Product Manager working on the website and with him on SEO. We managed one of the most adventurous website migrations and some unique challenges that came with going with a headless cms. Through all that, I discovered — Kevin is one of those people that doesn’t stop until he’s found an answer or solution. He works above and beyond; always willing to jump in and help even when it isn’t in his scope. He’s always teaching and supporting — and I’ve learned so much working with him. He’s an asset to any team and drives real impact. Highly recommend him.

      2008 was a tough year in the NASCAR industry with lack of sponsorships and major cut backs. Many of the teams removed employees from their positions throughout the year. Having worked in NASCAR, I wanted to volunteer my time to help others who have lost their job in the sport to find other opportunities. My duties were to upload dontcheckup.com member’s resumes and their photo to the website weekly. Throughout the year, I also promoted the website by speaking to NASCAR teams and through a live broadcast on Charlotte Fox News. Show less
