THE EMPIRE OF KEVIN:     HOME  :  ALL COLUMNS  :  ALL PROJECTS  :  CONTACT KEVIN

Kevin Sonney - who, contrary to popular opinion was NOT raised by wolves - grew up in central North Carolina. He fell into the technology field by accident in 1991, when he gave up the wild and crazy lifestyle of an on-air AM radio DJ to become a mundane technical support monkey. The technology industry has never really recovered from this.
Kevin currently works as in independent IT contractor. In his spare time he rescues stray animals and plays video games with his two sons. His girlfriend, we're sad to say, helps him get past the really hard bits.

Kevin is still not very mundane, he just got better at hiding it.

Most of the time I'm only involved in the hanging of these masterpieces, but sometimes...

"Oh look, Ursula left me a voicemail..." I think, unsuspecting the adventure about to be unleashed. And giving it a listen, I can only wonder :
