QUICK FACTS:

CREATING AFFORDABLE FAMILY FUN WITH AN EDGE…
Kevin was able to accomplish one of his life goals when he started working at the University of Notre Dame. Beginning as an intern, he worked his way up to Associate Director of Ticket Operations. He then went on to manage the Box Office for the Indiana Pacers, Fever, and third party events. When he and his wife decided to move back to Muncie, Kevin joined the Alumni Association at BSU to start, then transitioned to his current role as Assistant Athletic Director of Champion Experiences, Brand Elevation, and Fan Engagement to return to his passion of college athletics.

He loves game days and watching all the elements come together. “It’s fun to create an environment for the student-athletes to achieve success,”  says Kevin, who always strives to be a good teammate and person, knowing it goes a long way in establishing relationships and trust.

The support his team gives is vital as they build out experiences that strike the balance between engaging the long term loyal fan base and building a pipeline of younger, emerging local fans.

Kevin’s favorite event memories are with the Notre Dame football team when they went to playoff games at USC and the Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas. He was also able to travel to Yankee Stadium when they played in the Shamrock Series.

BEYOND THE EVENTS:
Kevin enjoys spending time with his family, it brings him a lot of joy being a husband to his wife Marci and father to their two children, Ellie (5) and Teddy (3).

Kevin and Marci met as students at BSU and now that they’ve moved back to Muncie, they live near family who they are very close with and value very much. 

Kevin loves Christmas and the spirit of the holiday! Before he had kids, he would watch Elf almost everyday, it’s his favorite movie. He has a sign in his office that says, “Treat everyday like Christmas” and even has his own Christmas website, counting down the days to the big day, (Christmaswithkevin.com).
