HIS STORY:
Born May 24, 1975 in Ephrata (click here
for a live view from atop of local newspaper, The
Ephrata Review), Pennsylvania... like many people, Kevin's childhood had
it's share of ups and downs. What kept him going? Many things. He had a love
of science, electronics, and robotics. 'The Transformers' made a huge impact
on him. For a long time, he thought about a career in science and/or robotics.
But he had another love... television and movies. Kevin first had his introduction
to the industry in 1982 at age 7 when he appeared in a piece for local station
WGAL 8. From that moment, he was hooked. And as luck would have it, he would
find out years later that that same piece also appeared on the short-lived tv
show 'Parent and Child' that very same year. In 1989, another stroke of good
luck would come his way when a piece that he and some friends produced would
find inclusion in the direct-to-video release of 'Score More Points Nintendo
Blue'. Then, in 1992, in one of his favorite projects, he appeared in a limited
run of 'Disney's Aladdin - The Musical' -- a musical in which he performed as
the Genie (showcasing his singing and voice talents). He was also the understudy
for the character of Aladdin.
These days... Kevin works for Blue
Ridge Communications by day and runs Flashpoint
Studios, a television, film, and music production company and promotional
firm by night. To date, through Flashpoint, he's been a production advisor on
over seventy television series, films, albums, and more. In 1994 he started
CinemaEdge, which was originally an entertainment print publication that later
made it's debut on the web in 1996. In 2001 it again changed from an infotainment
website to an entertainment store. Then, in 2003 CinemaEdge.com
became part of Amazon.com, as a sort of entertainment portal for the e-tail
giant. On the web, Kevin also has had his hand in other ventures. His company
helped launch Elton John's website back in 2000. He's consulted and marketed
tech companies like Dell and Sony. What he's most known for though (outside
of all of his crazy voices) are his film and television projects. He's worked
most notably on 'Whose Line is it Anyway?', 'Batman Beyond', 'Band of Brothers',
'24', 'Alias', 'Transformers' (2007), and many, many more. He's even done voiceover
work for USA Network promos for 'The Dead Zone'. He also co-produced the band
Just Like David and even consulted with actress & friend Jenna von Oy (Six,
Blossom) as she launched her music career. Kevin can also be found
raising money and awareness for his charities like the ASPCA, the World Wildlife
Fund, and others. He's also the spokesperson for Share
the Wealth, a Lancaster County-based organization that feeds hungry families
in surrounding areas of his hometown of Ephrata, Pennsylvania.
When he's not working, Kevin likes to either relax or spend time with friends.
