Manager, Architectural Specification Writers, Hager Companies

Kevin joined DHI in 2011 as a student.  He has been an instructor for DHI since 2016 and has also taught for DHI Canada.  Besides instructing, he has been involved in updating curriculum and giving back to the organization that has helped to progress his career. Kevin started in the industry working for a custom hollow metal manufacturer as a salesman and then an engineer.  He then moved on to distribution where project management was his primary role.  After earning his AHC, Kevin accepted a role as a specification writer and has continued to advance to his current role for Hager Companies. Education is paramount in this industry and Kevin has been diligent by obtaining DHI’s EHC and CDC to complete the AOC, as well as getting the CFDAI, DHT, and DHC.  He has also earned his CDT through CSI and is currently studying for the PSP from ASIS.  Along with his own thirst for knowledge he is always willing to educate anyone that asks and is willing to learn. Kevin is grateful for all that he has been blessed with professionally, but what he is the proudest of is his family.  He has been married since 2004 to his wife Melanie and they have a daughter, Josephine (Josie).
