However, in 2008 his plans changed and he joined the infantry marines and moved to North Carolina. During Kevin's carrier as a marine, he went on two combat deployments - one to Afghanistan. Kevin said the marines helped turn him into a man and taught him what is important in life. In 2012, Kevin moved back to Kennesaw, GA and said he instinctively knew he wanted to do something medical that also involved animals. In 2013 he rescued a pitbull mix named Don Juan, who is now his best friend and workout partner. In his spare time, he and his dog Don Juan enjoy running endurance obstacle marathons to improve physical health.
