Living in Tampa, Florida, for the last thirty years, Kevin often talks about the Buccaneers' big Super Bowl win during his Social Hour. But what you'll most likely hear about is how he’s always been an entrepreneur.
“Entrepreneurship has always been a part of me. I like to solve problems. I consider myself a disruptive solutionist. I like to come up with new ways to do things. Sometimes, it can be useful to break something in order to make it better.”
After studying marketing, sales, and entrepreneurship in college, Kevin began a career in sales. Although he was successful, he didn’t always believe in what he was selling. So, he decided to pursue a different path. He returned to school and earned a master’s degree in Biblical Studies, spending 17 years in full-time ministry before deciding he was ready for another change. He then started his own business, consulting with nonprofits, businesses, and ministries. Kevin loves taking complex concepts and making them simple, always seeking new ways to teach and inspire change.
Discovering GetSetUp and Making an Impact
“I found GetSetUp pretty early on and was intrigued by the idea. Out of curiosity, I reached out to see what was involved. Then I created a test class, 'How a Smartphone Can Help Simplify Your Life.'”
This remains the class Kevin teaches most frequently. Since his initial class, he has added several new offerings, including Getting the Most out of Your Smartphone, How to Use Flipboard, and How to Get Organized Using Evernote.
“My favorite classes aren’t based on the content. It’s when I have smaller, more intimate classes with learners who turn on their cameras and talk. Groups where people enjoy the opportunity to get together and engage.”
Taking the Complex and Making It Simple
Kevin strives to simplify things in all the classes he teaches.
“I like to make things simple. I’m on task but very flexible to the needs of the class. I always have content, but I am not so bent on learners hearing my planned class. Rather, I’m here to help them. Personally, I want them to feel encouraged with the idea, ‘You can do it, you have a lot to offer!’ My goal is that learners leave the class to go and do something with their new skills and confidence. I’m trying to help people become their best and support them in their process.”
Kevin enjoys teaching classes that add value to learners' lives, bringing smiles, laughter, and a boost in confidence. With each new class he teaches, Kevin continues to improve by anticipating common questions and concerns.
Growing with GetSetUp
Kevin has been with GetSetUp since the summer of 2020, witnessing its growth firsthand.
“It’s been great. I love startups. I love things that grow. Healthy things grow. I like that growth part of GetSetUp. I love the timing of it with COVID. It fits into a need that was already there—people in isolation needing to connect. I’ve used technology forever. I used Zoom before anyone knew what it was. It’s neat that GetSetUp came along and is an extension of what I did before.”
Although GetSetUp is just one of many things Kevin does, he looks forward to the classes he teaches each week. His ease with technology was why he was one of the first Guides to be featured on GetSetUp’s Facebook Live events.
