Chick-fil-A Story
Early in his career, Kevin was not initially interested in working at Chick-fil-A. He was selected as a Corp member for Teach for America in the SW Ohio region. This fueled a desire for entrepreneurship as he learned how to engage and empower others in new ways.
He began working at a Chick-fil-A in Newman, Georgia after his application to be an Owner/Operator was declined in 2018. He and his wife eventually relocated to Pennsylvania, ultimately being selected for a store in Philly in 2022. He and his wife have three children with a fourth on the way!
