I hired Kevin to add some much needed energy to my growing high school department. I needed someone that could hit the ground running and mesh with the existing team members. Kevin was always willing to help out his team members and consistently contributed to not only the high school team goals but also the adult admissions team. Kevin would be an excellent addition to any team.
