His great grandfather started the family down the path of Sabbath keeping by not only introducing them to a Sabbath-keeping church but also by becoming one of its more prominent ministers. Following that same path, Kevin’s grandfather also became a minister in the Sabbath-keeping church. Kevin spent each Sabbath day learning from his grandfather’s preaching and his mother’s teaching in Sabbath school. It was when he went away to school in Lawrence, Kansas that seeds of doubt were planted. An acquaintance at the time who was door knocking in the school’s dormitory sat down and showed him a few scriptures that appeared to contradict the very teaching he received from his Sabbath-keeping church. Rejecting those scriptures with the determination that they were “taken out of context,” he continued to believe in keeping the Sabbath. The message those scriptures seemed to have presented continued to fester but did not take root until shortly after he graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in Electrical Engineering. At that time, during a bible study where he was attempting to teach a friend about the Sabbath, the very scriptures he had rejected years ago once again were shown to him. This study ended a few weeks later with him being baptized into the church of Christ, no longer keeping the seventh-day Sabbath as he was raised.
He and his wife Karla have three children living and worshiping in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area of Texas. In November of 2012, he began serving as one of the elders at the Simmons Street church of Christ in Denton, Texas.
