Before joining KTRK, Kevin worked as an investigative reporter at WSVN-TV in Miami. During his time there, he exposed how South Floridians were wrongly billed by local utilities and elder care facilities that were failing to meet state standards. He also investigated environmental hazards and how climate change impacted the South Florida landscape.
Shortly after the tragic deadly condo collapse in Surfside, Florida, Kevin uncovered that city's mayor owned an apartment building with crumbling balconies and multiple violations.
Previously, Kevin was a Europe Correspondent for Feature Story News in Brussels, Belgium. He provided live news coverage out of Europe for FOX News, South Africa's SABC News, Singapore's Channel News Asia, and a host of radio networks around the world. In this position, Kevin reported on major stories that included terror attacks in France and Belgium, the refugee crisis from the Syrian Civil War, and NATO expansion.
Kevin has also worked as a General Assignment Reporter at WBBH-TV in Fort Myers, Florida and WATE-TV in Knoxville, Tennessee.
