Kevin was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and has lived all over the East Coast of the United States— from Boston, Massachusetts to Raleigh, North Carolina, to Portsmouth, Virginia where he lives now. He loves to get out and discover something new, and hopes the next time you stay at the Renaissance in Portsmouth, Virginia, you stop by his desk for directions to a local museum, coffee shop, or the public paddle boat ferry, which can take you across the Elizabeth River to Norfolk or a Tides AAA baseball game.
