Kevin's lifelong passion for powerlifting and fitness has been nothing short of remarkable. Though the journey has been marked by numerous injuries and surgeries, Kevin has persevered with unwavering determination. His medical history reads like an orthopedic textbook - 6 knee operations, 2 major back surgeries, 2 hip replacements, brain surgery and brain radiation. But no amount of adversity could extinguish Kevin's inner fire and drive. At the age 62, Kevin undertook a monumental fitness journey to shed 60 pounds, proving that age is just a number. His passion for health and fitness remained undimmed by the passing years. Through all the ups and downs, Kevin persevered with an indomitable spirit. He now aims to share his hard-won wisdom with others who are facing adversity. Drawing from his own experiences, Kevin developed "ISO QUICK STRENGTH," a program designed to help people rebound after setbacks. He recognized that overcoming difficulties requires both physical and mental strength. Kevin spreads his message of resilience and determination through a blog, books, and his personal mantra: "Those who quit will always fail." These simple yet powerful words encapsulate his incredible journey. After 37 remarkable years as a filmmaker, Kevin now uses his gifts as an author to share inspirational stories. Earning the moniker "Life Warrior," Kevin stands as a shining example of the human capacity to overcome any adversity. His unwillingness to ever quit or back down, no matter the obstacles faced, is a testament to the motto he lives by: "A Life Warrior is willing to do whatever it takes to overcome life's challenges."

Though battered and bruised, Kevin stands tall as a shining example of human potential. His story is one of courage, resilience and the power of embracing life's challenges with an open heart.
