Kevin’s speaking career began in the 1970s, as a teenager. His first talks tackled environmental awareness and children's rights, and he hasn't stopped since. From convincing a downtown Boston bank to implement their first teller training program at age 19, to developing communication and management courses that were adopted by Fortune 100 companies, Kevin’s message has always been clear: people are capable of more…when they’re empowered to be.
By the time he launched Managing the Gift in his early 30s, Kevin had already worked across nearly every major industry: banking, hospitality, retail, healthcare, financial services, social services, and education. He brought with him deep experience in training, troubleshooting, leadership development, and sales, and has since continued to expand his reach.

ADHD Expert Speaker
Kevin believes the world needs the brilliance of the ADHD mind now more than ever. For over 25 years, he has spoken to audiences around the globe about why people with ADHD weren’t born to follow — they were born to lead, to innovate, and to change the rules for the better. He challenges the outdated view of ADHD as a limitation, and reframes it as an evolutionary gift that expands the bandwidth of what humanity can achieve.
His talks blend science, story, and strategy, leaving audiences inspired, empowered, and equipped to see ADHD not as something to “manage,” but as a force to harness — in the classroom, the workplace, and in life.
