He entered the University of Kansas in Lawrence on a music scholarship majoring in music theory and composition.

While in the East, Kevin went on his Walk to Emmaus and then became a volunteer within the organization. He taught Disciple Bible Study which he credits with 'making him a Christian' and preached at two small rural Methodist Churches in northern Baltimore County.

In 2002 Kevin returned to Colorado and partnered in a startup company to provide online financial advice before retiring in 2012. Back in Colorado he again was a Walk to Emmaus volunteer before switching to Kairos Prison Ministry International. He served at Sterling before helping organize Kairos at Bent County and Buena Vista. He also served as Colorado's state president.

Whether in Kansas, Colorado or Maryland, Kevin always sang tenor in the church choir. For several years Kevin was part of The Epiphany Mountain Boys gospel bluegrass group.
