Through high school and into his early twenties, Kevin was known as the life of the party… until his very public suicide attempt at the Golden Gate Bridge changed everything.

Since 2013, Kevin has captivated his audiences with his candidness about how he was able to overcome his pain and fully embrace himself in order to live his best life. He lives to inspire others to break their own silence and know that help is available.

Kevin’s story of HOPE has touched a diverse group of audiences all around the world, including several magazine outlets, along with local and national news stations. Kevin’s story was also featured on the Steve Harvey Show, Red Table Talk, and the Dr. Phil Show.

The photo of him standing on the 32-inch-wide beam, known as “the chord,” was on the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle and placed on the 75 most iconic photos of the 21st Century.

Kevin believes that having survived an attempted suicide plays a major role in the prevention of additional suicides. No one knows more about the darkness that surrounds suicide than those who have walked in its shadow.
