Raised by a single mother alongside four older sisters, Kevin, a devoted father of four and grandfather of six, confronted the harsh realities of inner-city life from an early age.

In 2023, after an exhaustive legal battle, Kevin emerged from 34 years in prison a free man, armed with wisdom forged through personal trauma and a deep commitment to change. Amidst his challenges, Kevin faced the devastating loss of his son to gun violence at the age of 22, inspiring his relentless dedication to helping young boys and girls navigate similar adversities. Through Just Better Men, Kevin envisions a brighter future, extending a lifeline to the youth of Philadelphia, driven by a profound understanding of the transformative impact of resilience, empathy, and unwavering belief in the potential for change in every young life.
