In 1990 he started his own company concentrating on both short-term insurance and financial services, until 1995 when he decided to focus solely on financial services.

Through this approach many long-term relationships developed with his individual and corporate clients. The welfare of his clients is a primary concern to Kevin, so as part of his succession plan, he chose to join Resolute Wealth Management, thus ensuring that they would continue to receive the support to which they had become accustomed.
