Being first and foremost a man of his word, Kevin, leads by way of 'integrity' in its truest sense. When it comes to sincerity, morals, trust and genuine discernment for others, in my opinion, he is deserving of the highest regard and respect.

FAVORITE MUSIC
I enjoy all music void of unnecessary vulgarity and/or offensive material is worthy of my time; I simply enjoy talent, no matter what one is singing.
FAVORITE MOVIES
The Mask! Passion of the Christ! All animation! Anything that builds "all" people up no matter race, color, creed, nationality, or beliefs. I enjoy some action flicks as well and that incorporates the likes of "The Transporter" series, quality martial arts films (trained for 12 years) and the, "Bond, James Bond" stuff is pretty cool as well.
TELEVISION
Seldom watch TV (other than videos brought home). Have big screen of course, but that is for my sweetie who loves her sports and home-decorating programs...learning channel...History...Discovery etc....
FAVORITE BOOKS
The Holy Bible... Educational reading...'The Case for Christ' by former atheist and legal editor for Chicago Tribune, Lee Strobel (amazing book)...Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale, whom I said I wanted to meet and did on his '92nd' birthday (if the world could only read this book),The New Media Monopoly by Ben Bagdikian * Full Disclosure by Dr. Gary Glum (The man-made Aides Virus truth) and most recently, the book entitled: "The Shack" (a treat and winner for any reader of any category).
MY HEROES/FRIENDS
Jesus Christ (a relationship that can support itself scientifically and archaeologically), The Salvation Army (global efforts) ... Brian, John, Mary Anne (Downs Syndrome friends), Julie, Colin, Don, Sheryl, Neil, Bob, Dwayne, Paul, to name a few of my extended and true friends who continually teach me much about life...friends who are either physically or mentally challenged.
WHO I'D LIKE TO MEET
Well, when I was in the music industry there were a few I said I wanted to meet and I did... In 1995, at the CMA Show, I was invited to join the Mary Bailey Management Team (Shania Twain's claim-to-tame)...and never did meet Shania, because quite frankly, I had no interest in meeting her.
Said I'd like to meet Zig Ziglar and did in 1992 in Garden Grove, California at the "From Success to Significance" conference. Today, I'll soon be meeting William Shatner (Captain Kirk; Star Trek), on behalf of a good friend of mine (Colin, mentioned above), who is and has been a fan of his for years...and I expect that to happen this summer; my friend who was born with Cerebral Palsy (trapped inside a body that doesn't work), is tickled pink, literally.
As for any one else, I've always said; if you want to meet someone, just set your mind to doing it and do it...and it works...I've done it and so can you; they're just people like you and I.
