From there he worked his way up to the executive boardroom and for nearly two decades Kevin was a sales and marketing executive that helped grow a little-known family business into an industry giant with annual revenues reaching two billion dollars. After a 30-year career he decided to retire from corporate America and spread The Hero Effect™ message to as many people and organizations as possible.
