Kevin is Contributing Editor for The Curator and Conference and Membership Director for International Arts Movement. In addition to moonlighting as a writer, he moonlights as a saxophonist (www.kevingosa.com) often performing solo, with songwriter Jake Armerding and as a member of the Sensorium Saxophone Orchestra. He also publishes original poetry (though usually in spurts) on his blog The Versery.
Kevin and his wife live, what could only be described as euphorically, in Jersey City, NJ, love traveling (especially to Singapore) and are obsessed with Jamie Oliver and his show Jamie at Home. Oh, and if watching cartoons were an Olympic sport, Kevin would have more gold medals than Michael Phelps.
