As a kid, his mother brought him into this world of words. "She would read with her sweet angelic voice taking me so far away doing things I never done before Living the adventures of the people she read about. Soon afterward when I asked her to read another, she would tell me to pick a book off the shelf & to read it myself." Through reading, Kevin learned early that words are powerful when shared correctly through speech or in print. His mission is to share his message with you. "So, we all can come to a common understanding throughout the world and to be your brother under God."view less
