Kevin's interest in the German culture comes from his wife Helga, her very German parents, and living in Germany for 5 1/2 years. They made the most of their time while living in Deutschland. In Berlin they explored Kurfürstendamm Strasse and camped in the Grunewald. Their first daughter, Jennifer, was born in Berlin. In other parts of Germany, they skied on the Zugspitze, cruised the Königsee, and picked grapes at a vineyard in Diefenbach. Kevin and his wife have 4 children and 10 rambunctious and happy grandchildren that call them "Opa" and "Oma". Kevin is a retired teacher and a member of the German American Cultural Society of Rhode Island.
