Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. In 2003, Kevin founded the award winning creative firm Francomedia specializing in experience design. Francomedia has worked with Hewlett Packard, VoodooPC, Canada Safeway, Enbridge, Old Dutch Foods, Canadian Sport Centre as well as numerous professional sports teams, and authors. In 2010, the Alberta Chambers of Commerce awarded Francomedia with the Marketing Award of Distinction. Kevin has always reveled in leading and taking part in creative projects. As a co-founder of Enthrill Entertainment, a digital content provider and transmedia publisher, he led the creative team as pioneers in Transmedia Storytelling. The methods of narrative dispersion his team developed via social media, web and through content platforms in telling the One Child story are now commonly used by major brands and big-budget movie and television productions as a way to tell the story as well as promote the franchise behind the story. The opportunity to play Cheech in The Ramsay Downholers (2011) was too good to pass up as Kevin is an avid hockey player and fit the part, initially hired on as an extra, he earned a speaking role when asked to say "yeah" in a scene. Kevin still plays hockey, rides his bike and mentors entrepreneurs while pursuing his silver-screen dreams.
