Kevin’s passion for storytelling, breaking news, and finding local connections to his coverage runs deep. Over the last three decades, he has reported for NBC Connecticut from all over the country and the world, sharing some of Connecticut’s happiest and saddest moments; from the coronavirus pandemic to the Dulos murder investigation, from Election Night to Inauguration Day, to field anchoring big weather and community events, to covering the congressional baseball shooting in Alexandria, Virginia, to live, local coverage at five Olympics and co-producing a documentary on the Hartford Whalers, Kevin has often been the state’s first source of news on history-making events.

As a senior in 1989, he helped lead the Red Devils to the Division III playoffs for the first time ever. He broke the school record with 10 interceptions as Dickinson went undefeated for the first time in 52 years. He also captained the Dickinson baseball team for three seasons.

Kevin went to Phillips Academy high school in Andover, Massachusetts. He is originally from Westhampton, New York on Long Island and spent part of his childhood in Bedford, New Hampshire.

In his free time, Kevin looks for ways to give back to the community he cares so much about. He has served as a board member for a variety of local charities and has volunteered as an emcee and host for hundreds of events across the state.
