Bio
Ashley Fassell
"Extremely personable" is a trait that comes to mind when I think about Kevin. He and I worked together at MPOWER Financing, where he led business development for the eastern part of the U.S. When I joined the team, colleagues spoke about the impressive manner by which Kevin's sales efforts contributed to the start-up's explosive growth phase. Above all, I was genuinely impressed with Kevin's ability to connect with others - colleagues, clients, and prospects alike.
Chansone Durden
Kevin’s knowledge and insights in the student loan industry is wide and far reaching. He is thoughtful and strategic in his approach. Kevin’s integrity is well known to those who has worked with him. One can always count on his consummate professionalism. I would recommend him without hesitation.
