About the book
A 91-day walk toward a new beginning.
In 91 Days to Weight Loss and Gaining Strength Through Praise, Kevin shares how he moved through depression and self-doubt by reading and understanding God’s Word, and by recognizing the importance of family and faith.
The “weight loss” in this book is not about losing pounds physically. Kevin describes laying down the mental weight of daily pressures—from social media and the news to outside influences and the feeling that we should always do better. His story is about finding light, strength, and a new place in God’s Kingdom.
“Be strong and courageous…”Joshua 1:6 (KJV)

My career journey
From the flight line to continued service.
My career has been shaped by service, learning, and the people I have had the privilege to work beside. Here are some milestones from the Navy years through the work I do today.
1976–1977
Starting in naval aviation
I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in July 1976 as an aircraft mechanic. My first years taught me the value of skilled work, discipline, and relying on the people beside me. This company photo is from March 1977.
Navy years
Learning the work and serving as a team
From aircraft maintenance to working with service members across the Pacific, each assignment brought new lessons and lasting friendships.
July 20, 2001
Reenlisting aboard USS Essex
I reenlisted aboard USS Essex. Later that year, while stationed in Sasebo, Japan, I experienced September 11 with my shipmates. The next morning, our ship got underway.
2004
Recognized for leadership and partnership
As Command Master Chief aboard USS Essex, I received a certificate of appreciation recognizing my work and the strengthened relationship between U.S. Navy and Japan Self-Defense Forces personnel.
2007
Retiring as a Command Master Chief
After 31 years of Navy service, I retired as a Command Master Chief. The uniform came off, but the lessons of leadership, accountability, and taking care of people stayed with me.
Today
Continuing to serve
Today I work as a Quality Assurance Manager at CoreCivic’s California City facility. I continue to focus on doing the job with care, supporting the team, and maintaining high standards.
A life in uniform
