Hello, everyone! Prepare for an enlightening episode of NOON featuring Kevin—a remarkable paramedic whose journey embodies resilience, passion, and a commitment to service.

Kevin's path into emergency medical services (EMS) began in his early 20’s, spurred by a profound desire to aid others in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Starting as an EMT, Kevin initially grappled with squeamishness, but his determination pushed him past these initial hurdles.

Kevin made the difficult decision to step away from EMS to prioritize his family's well-being. However, his dedication to the profession persisted, leading him to channel his experiences into writing.

Kevin's first book, "A Thousand Naked Strangers: A Paramedic's Wild Ride to the Edge and Back," offers a raw and riveting account of his time in EMS. Building upon this foundation, he delved deeper into the history of EMS and penned his second book, "American Sirens: The Incredible Story of the Black Men Who Became America's First Paramedics."
