About Kevin

I’ve worn a few different hats over the years: attorney, writer, stand-up comedian, and photographer. It might seem like an unusual combination, but I’ve always enjoyed finding different ways to tell stories, connect with people, and make sense of the world around me.

Originally from New York’s Hudson Valley, I’ve been practicing law since 2006. My career has taken me from the courtrooms of New York to Southern California and, eventually, into corporate legal leadership. Today, I work as in-house counsel, focusing primarily on litigation and employment law.

But there’s always been another side to my life.

For roughly a decade, I performed stand-up comedy in Los Angeles, including appearances at legendary venues like the Comedy Store. There’s nothing quite like standing in front of a room full of strangers, armed with nothing but a microphone and the hope that somebody finds you funny.

I’ve also maintained a lifelong love of writing, whether it’s screenplays, essays, personal reflections, or simply exploring an interesting idea. Photography is another creative passion, especially when traveling and discovering new places. And when inspiration strikes, you’ll occasionally find me playing guitar or singing.

These days, I live in Northeast Florida with my wife and our two children. Family is the center of my life, and I enjoy traveling, exploring new places, and making memories together. I’m also a lifelong New York Yankees and Giants fan, which has provided its own share of comedy, drama, and occasional heartbreak.

This website is my little corner of the internet, where I share my writing, photography, experiences, and whatever else happens to inspire me.

Thanks for stopping by. I’m glad you’re here.

  1. This is such a remarkable blog. I feel we’re on the same page in a lot of ways. I have numerous passions that all somehow compliment each other. Basically, it comes down to self-expression. Much of it grounded in creative writing and visual art.

  6. I finally got around to watching your stand-up comedy clip! You should definitely post more of those if you have them! Speaking publicly is hard enough, but being tasked with making others laugh has got to be even more difficult! Keep up the great writing, as well!

    • Hi Shayne! Thanks for watching the video and the kind words of encouragement! Yeah, it is a pretty wild experience going on stage to tell jokes. I must be a little bit loco to do it. Lol The whole experience is such an adrenaline rush. When I have a late show, it takes me hours to come down from the rush in order to fall asleep. And sleep I need – I have two kids under the age of 3! Thanks again!!

      • Hello Kevin,

        Several months have passed since we last communicated here. I hope that you and your family have been doing very well in life. 🙂

        In addition to interacting with you on your blog, I would like to invite you over to my blog to read a very special post that will greatly pique your interest and resonate with your inquisitive and sharp mind. Given your professional background as an attorney and freelance writer, I am indeed rather curious about your assessment of, and reaction to, my latest post published at https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/2017/10/18/the-quotation-fallacy/, which has been receiving highly diverse feedback.

    • Thank you, Shayne, for mentioning Kevin’s stand-up comedy clip, at which I shall take a very good look soon.

      Hi Kevin, you are obviously multi-talented and highly adaptable in many careers and situations. It is almost certain that you will find or discover something else even more enjoyable and fulfilling in the future.

      May you flourish in all your endeavours!

      Happy November to you very soon!

  7. Hi Kevin. Thanks for visiting my blog. I love to hear about people like you who are following their passion to write. I’m doing the same. A friend of mine left the lawyer life in Century City 20 years ago to write, and she has been sooo successful. Very inspiring for me. I started writing before I became disabled and now I’m so glad I did. My second book will be published in October. I look forward to seeing more of your work!

  8. Hi Kevin! I noticed you changed up your blog a little bit. I hope you don’t mind my questions…
    Are you completely done being an attorney? Are you still doing screenwriting?
    I hope to catch one of your comedy shows some day! 🙂

  33. Thank you for taking the time to visit my site and follow my blog. Your photography reminds me a lot of my husbands’-who is also named Kevin. Never met a Kevin I was unimpressed by, actually. It’s an honor to have someone of your experience follow my first effort.
