The road to sound design for this wide-eyed audiophile was carved out of a creative past as a drummer and self-taught audio engineer. Kevin decided to turn his passion for audio into a career in sound design, graduating from San Francisco State University's nationally-recognized Broadcasting and Electronic Communication Arts (BECA) program. Through BECA, he worked on two award-winning projects: the historical documentary "Activist State" and the animated short "Muto Remixed." His growing reputation brought him opportunities as lead sound designer on a promotional video for The Smile Foundation and in creating an original soundscape for Lares Feliciano's "Push On." Most recently, he is serving as sound designer on Peripheral Productions' "Elementary Cool" and "You're Looking at Me," and the NBC Bay Area pilot "XYZ TV."
