Growing Up If you looked up "last pick" in the
dictionary you would have found a picture of a
young Kevin Kearns. He always had his shoelaces
untied, had knobby knees, was uncoordinated and
was the last one picked on the field, in gym
classes and at recess. Simply put, he was the
neighborhood punching bag. To make matters worse, at age 12, his father died of liver
failure and his world was completely turned
upside down.
An uncle who
became a father figure, talked Kevin into
taking karate classes. This was a turning point
in Kevin's life as it instilled within him
confidence
and discipline. Now he could fight back in
many ways! Most importantly, Kevin learned to compete against
himself. His mantra became: "I can learn to do
better with the right teaching and right
motivation." To this day, Kevin continues
his martial arts studies.
"I can learn to
do better with the right teaching
and
right motivation."

way through college as a pizza and pasta chef,
where he learned to appreciate what he calls "real
food."
