Kevin is also currently finishing a dissertation on surf and ocean therapy while working as a therapist and developing the Hermosa Music Company with Patti and good friend and fellow musician Aragorn. “There are so many talented musicians here,” explains Kevin. “We are bringing them together to write, sing covers and stream songs to get South Bay music out into the world.”

Beyond music, Kevin has always believed in giving back to his community. Because he is so beloved here, he has played at many paddle-outs, benefits and memorials. Heon their own two feet.”

In 2013 Kevin became even more involved in the Hermosa Beach community when he discovered that Hermosa Oil was planning to drill in his beloved backyard. Alongside Mike Collins, he began a steadfast mission to keep the oil drilling out of Hermosa Beach. The two put their minds together to create an innovative group named Keep Hermosa Hermosa. Their mission was to keep their pristine beach community clean, green, safe and beautiful. He devoted three years of his life to fighting the oil company, putting everything else on hold. His fight was successful.
