His passions are social, brand and advertising research and he has a penchant for website usability and user experience research. He loves pushing industry boundaries and is forever using technology to make research better.

Aside from producing music in his spare time, Kevin can frequently be found taking way too long to complete simple home DIY projects and wrestling with his Basset Hound. He’s fixated by outdoor grilling, contending he can grill anything.
