Kevin started snowboarding and skating as soon as he could walk. Always seeking adventure and living in Billerica, Massachusetts his passion for the outdoors continued to grow when he started going on hiking excursions with his cousin throughout the east coast as well as exploring other outdoor activities.

Before working at Onward & Upward, Kevin honed his skills working with youth through many volunteering hours with a recreational therapist organization.
