Before law school, Kevin completed his undergraduate work at the
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and – of course – continues to be a ‘die-hard’ Bruin fan.

When he’s not working, Kevin enjoys spending time doing just aboutanything with his wife and children. He also continues trying (invain?) to improve his remarkably average golf game, hoping one day tobeat his law partner in an honest round of eighteen holes.
