Kevin is one of the rarest of rare breeds. No, not a unicorn. Even rarer than that. He’s an actual native of Bend, Oregon. He graduated from Mountain View High School, where was captain of the wrestling team. From there, he went on to get a degree in Digital Arts from the University of Oregon while wrestling with website designs in outdated systems like Flash and Dreamweaver. After that, Kevin returned to Bend and began tackling complex projects as a video producer and editor for Wahoo Films. He married Sarah, whom he dated in high school, and ultimately started his own full-time web design business (Farewell Media) in 2016. His son Beck was born in October of 2020 and is quickly learning that his dad can’t stand the sight of cold cereal. But he’s a big fan of fantasy football, the reality show Big Brother and over-the-top, group-themed Halloween costumes.
