Former Executive Chef at the Walnut Hills Country Club in East Lansing
Eventually a position as a culinary instructor at Lansing Community College and a position as the Executive Chef at the Walnut Hills Country Club in East Lansing led him home to Michigan.

His Caribbean specialties, Low Country and Southern favorites, Italian tastes, and eclectic creations achieved near cult-like status among his frequent waterfront guests.A decade later, Chef Kevin returned to Michigan and became a favorite among the Lansing Country Club and Tavern 109 set.
