At the helm of Daydream Pictures, Kevin serves as writer, director, and editor on his projects, with credits spanning everything from elementary school science programming to America’s Most Wanted. Over the past five years, he has edited nationally broadcast programs for the CBS Television Network, including 48 Hours and CBS Sunday Morning.
