Kevin’s Background

Kevin was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania and grew up in the Binghamton, New York area. The son of a member of the construction trades and a social worker, Kevin has an understanding of hard work and a heart for service to others. As young as middle school, Kevin spent his summers working on major commercial construction and renovation projects with his father who by then was a construction manager. Long days and a focus on meeting deadlines were important, but with family working on the job site, Kevin was taught that safety came first. Seeing a few on-the-job serious injuries (and many near misses) taught Kevin that even a momentary failure to follow safety rules could have devastating life changing consequences.

Later, for several years Kevin served as a director for a New York State program for people with multiple disabilities, including those profoundly affected by traumatic brain injury and anoxic birth injury. This experience impacted Kevin by showing him how vulnerable and dependent the injured can sometimes become and how their needs could far outstrip the ability of an average family. This experience taught him the life-long financial and emotional costs required to help those with serious injuries.

In addition, Kevin worked as a chemist and quality assurance technician for a major industrial employer in Central New York. In that job Kevin learned how important safety rules were for protecting workers. He saw how a responsible employer puts emphasis every day on protecting workers though comprehensive safety training and enforcement.
