While he has retired as his sons’ pee wee football coach, Kevin loves watching them play football at the highest level in high school and in Division I. His oldest son plays center for the University of Oklahoma. However, Kevin remains balanced by his daughters and their exploits.

Even though time is at a premium, he enjoys hunting and fishing as his favorite pastimes, along with spending time in the gym.
