Before moving to the USA in 2006, he studied guitar with some of Winnipeg’s finest guitarists/guitar instructors including: Larry Roy, Willie Wiebe, David Letkemann and Patrick Lussier. Kevin graduated from Wheaton College in 2009 with a BM in guitar performance. While he was there he studied with Stephen Ramsdell. Kevin then went on to complete an MM in Jazz Studies at DePaul University in Chicago, IL with an emphasis in Jazz Composition and Arranging.
