Kevin embarked on his career at 15 years old working for his fathers sprinkler company over the summer and in between school breaks. Starting in the fabrication shop pulling material for jobs, he learned all the different types of material needed to complete a job. From there he went on to the field installing pipe on various project types from tenant modification, big box warehouses, and base office builds. After college he relocated to the design department taking advantage of his design skillset. He quickly outgrew his father's company and left for more opportunity. In 2006 he started at American Automatic Sprinkler Company and continued in the design segment of the business and completed the first BIM job in the DMV in 2007. From there he moved up the ranks from Engineering Manager to Vice President and currently President. Under his leadership he has streamlined design process and methods, restructured estimating, took multifamily sector to 15% increase in profit in 2 years, raised the profile of the company via acquisitions of larger high-profile projects, led business development and establishment of fire alarm division. In addition, to showcase expansion into other aspects of the life safety industry, Kevin has transitioned branding to the current name American Fire Systems.
