Kevin was born to an American father and a mother from El Salvador. His mother wanted him to be called Guillermo but his father decided to give the name of a basket player to the hospital administration. This is how the podcast starts. Kevin is witty and great fun with lots of stories to tell. When he received a scholarship from Georgetown Univesity, he decided to go to Lomé, Togo, where he stayed much longer than planned and discovered all of Africa, partly by moped.
Between 2010 and 2015 Kevin worked as the Associate Peace Corps Director of Peace Corps, Costa Rica where he built a project focused on improving the pedagogical practices of public school teachers in conjunction with the Ministry of Public Education of Costa Rica. A skilled Recruiter and mentor Kevin was responsible for the recruitment and retention of annual cycles of volunteers crucial for the projects’ success. During this tenure, Kevin and his team of more than 230 volunteers assisted the Ministry in rewriting the National Curriculum of English delivering pedagogical workshops to teachers around the country.
He lives in Cyprus with his family, loves to travel and is drawn to technology and music in his down time.
