Born on an Air Force Base, Kevin gained an early appreciation for the sacrifices that military families make. In high school, Kevin earned an Architectural Drafting Certificate at a Career Technology school, which he used to work and pay for his Engineering degree. Later in life, he earned his MBA.
After undergrad, Kevin went on to work as an Aerospace Engineer for Rockwell International. When the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster rocked the aerospace industry, Kevin was out of work. He began saving to purchase his first McDonald’s Restaurant by starting and operating small business ventures: writing computer programs to automate tasks for businesses, real estate, and even hog farming.
A strong national defense strategy is vital to the future of the United States and the safety of our people. As the foremost global superpower, our military superiority secures American stability and provides strength to our allies around the world. In order to keep our people safe from any present or future threat, we must prioritize military preparedness – which means adequate defense funding. Strengthening and modernizing our military is a primary focus.
It’s imperative to continue to combat threats to American security. We have taken the fight to ISIS in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Africa and have made incredible progress to stop the growth of the world’s largest terror organization. In addition, we must condemn Russian encroachment on American sovereignty, and we must be watchful of an emerging China.
