About Kevin: As a seasoned franchising professional, he started his career in advertising, working in account service and media planning and buying for ad agencies in Jacksonville and Tallahassee, Florida.

In 1997, he was hired as a media planner and buyer for the in-house advertising agency for Meineke Discount Mufflers quarterly placing local advertising fund dollars for franchisees in markets across North America. After spending nearly 7 years with the company as they evolved from Meineke Discount Mufflers into Meineke Car Care Centers, Kevin transitioned from marketing into franchise development and helping people recognize their dreams of business ownership through franchising with the company.
With nearly 30 years in franchise consulting, Kevin has led both established franchise brands and emerging franchise opportunities across multiple industries. His expertise spans franchise development, operations, legal, and compliance.
Throughout his franchising career, he has helped hundreds find success through franchise ownership.
