What was your first job?

My first job was a corn detasseler in Iowa. I was 13 years old. It's really hot in the middle of summer and you have to wear long sleeves so you don't get scraped up by th corn. But I made about $800 in two weeks, which at the time and at that age is pretty good.

What profession other than yours would you like to try?

I think it would be fun to be a pilot. In fact, I might try some flying lessons once I get some free time.

What's your daily commute like at ESPN?

It depended on the subway. Some days it was an easy 20 mintue subway ride. Other times it took about 45 minutes, crammed with 500 of your best subway buddies.

What's your daily commute like at Jobster?

I live about 1/2 a mile from the office, so it's a nice 10 minute walk. Unless it's raining, then it's a not so nice 10 minute walk.

What advice would you give to a new employee at ESPN?

Join a fantasy league, it's a great way to interact with co-workers, and everyone takes it seriously.

What are the lunches like at ESPN?

If you work in Bristol, the cafeteria is great, and you might run into one of the anchors, but it gets a little boring after awhile.

In NYC, there are so many great places to eat. I miss Mondelo's Chicken Parm.

Kevin served on a keynote panel at the Midwest ACE (Association of Colleges & Employers) 2007 annual conference. He was prepared and well informed on his topics and demonstrated genuine interest in the areas of expertise of the other panelists. This made Kevin very engaging within the panel and with the audience. As one of the conference organizers I greatly appreciated this as well as his enthusiasm and professionalism.

A stand-up gentleman, for sure.
