Kevin is known for taking a no-nonsense approach to sales and marketing and has been named one of the Top 50 CEOs in Atlantic Canada. He was also named Progress Magazine’s “Marketer of the Year,” and won the prestigious Paul Harris Fellowship Award for his charity work for Rotary International.
Just as selling is uncomfortable for so many entrepreneurs, Kevin continues to push himself outside his own comfort zone, including getting kissed and mauled by Richard Simmons to raise $300,000 for Breast Cancer and deciding to rappel from a building to help raise money for Special Olympians.
Kevin has been an entrepreneur for over 23 years. He is the co-founder of The IDEA Factory, which started in a basement in 2001 and grew to $6 million.
Today, he is the co-owner of one of the region’s largest B2B insurance brokers, and in under seven years, the value of the brokerage has increased by $20 million.
Kevin is always reminding people that he didn’t go to Harvard or Stanford and is quite proud that he graduated with a blistering 67% average from the Faculty of Business at Memorial University of Newfoundland, which proves that education should never be confused with success.
He isn’t a book writer, he’s an everyday entrepreneur. And yes, he still sells.
Every. Single. Day.
