Keven’s story starts on a family farm in rural Minnesota. His dad was a fifth-generation farmer, raising dairy cows and growing organic crops—quite a sight! Back then, Keven wasn’t aware that he was living what many millennials now dream of. He had a garden full of fresh vegetables, some fruit trees, and fresh milk from his own dairy. Hard times for a small operation pushed both Keven’s parents from a self-sustaining, at-home lifestyle to full-time jobs with a long commute. Keven and his sister went from homeschooling to classrooms, and his entire lifestyle changed drastically. By the time Keven was in the 9th grade, he weighed over 240 pounds with a 40-inch waist. He was constantly getting injured trying to keep up with his peers. Thanks to some teachers and mentors, Keven was introduced to Acro Sport and physical exercise, and he began his personal health journey. Keven has spent over a decade working in the health and fitness field, serving as a personal trainer, nutrition coach, and coordinating corporate wellness programs in Knoxville, TN. Professionally speaking, Keven felt on top of the world. However, he was burning the candle at both ends. Keven’s sleep was poor, he was running on caffeine, and he tried to ignore the stress. After his first child was born in 2021, Keven chose to cut back and stay home with his kid, and that’s when he realized how unprepared he truly was for the real world. Three years later, Keven has added one more child to his resume and is ready to share what he has learned with others. Keven is deeply devoted to helping driven individuals who care about their careers, families, and health to thrive.
