Kevin has great stories growing up in Kentucky, knowing the history of the Kentucky coal Mines, making moonshine and its ties to Nascar Racing, bluegrass music and the Kentucky Derby. Kevin's skills in wood working and love of music got him into building custom mandolin guitars and even some of those guitars were played in the Grand Old Opry! In business Kevin has done very well in his lumber and construction business, Future Designs and Ground Auger, a company that has patent a revolutionary corkscrew auger pole design that has applications in gardening, fishing and hunting products. Beyond Kevin's entrepreneurial spirit his philanthropy work to help the communities in Kentucky just goes to show you what kind of person Kevin is.
