Despite earning a Bachelor's Degree in English with an emphasis on Nonfiction Writing from Penn State University, Kevin always aspired to write fiction. Nonfiction, however, paid the bills-first as an enlisted Army journalist and later as an editor for the Department of the Army and the Department of Homeland Security. His dream of writing fiction stayed alive through short stories until he finally decided to tackle a novel. Pearls Before Swine, inspired byhis experiences during deployment in Iraq, became the first of what he hopes will be many more works. Kevin's current projects include a coming-of-age novel based on his upbringing in Pennsylvania and additional short stories. Future plans feature a sequel to Pearls Before Swine, two contemporary romance novels, and a short story collection. Much of his inspiration stems from his own failed attempts at love and his successes with the many animals he has adopted. A devoted small-animal lover, Kevin lives in Virginia with his pet rat, Rat Damon (pictured), and fond memories of numerous other rats and one chihuahua named Spartacus. His hobbies include yoga, running, coaching youth boxing, and creating retro video game playthroughs, which he shares on YouTube.
