Throughout his presidency, Kevin helped strengthen professional education and member development within the MAPGA, ensuring that PGA Members had the resources and relationships to grow and succeed. His steady leadership, professionalism, and passion for the game have made a lasting impact on the Section and its members.

Now serving as the Head Golf Professional at Argyle Country Club , Kevin continues to grow the game by helping host the Denny McCarthy Junior Invitational, which celebrated its ninth year in 2025.
