“Kevin motivates others to reach their full potential by leading through example. His philosophy is to continuously strive to exceed expectations, which I have personally seen him accomplish on numerous occasions. He approaches every task, from providing his clients with timely and quality service to mentoring young professionals and volunteering in the Grand Rapids community, with equal enthusiasm. In doing so, Kevin makes every person with whom he interacts feel like they are the most important on his agenda. Additionally, Kevin actively seeks input and new ideas from every member of the teams on which he serves. This creates an inclusive environment that fosters creativity and inspires others to be open to change. With Kevin's support behind an idea or project, others are eager to get involved because of the reputation he has earned. Ultimately, he leads with humility by challenging others to take the spotlight wherever possible. Personally, this has provided me with several opportunities that I would not otherwise have been given and enabled me to further develop in my career. I consider Kevin to be a strong role model and am grateful for his mentorship and encouragement!”
