About Kevin

Kevin was the first co-blogger to join Citizen Crain. Like Chris, Kevin is an American "love exile" living in Brazil. Kevin and his partner Vini share a home in the Jardins neighborhood of São Paulo.

Kevin's public affairs consulting firm Center Strategies advises international corporate and non-profit clients in the U.S. and elsewhere on policy and trade issues.

Before leaving Washington, Kevin was a 20-year veteran of the Beltway political scene. He and Chris first met back in 2000, when Kevin was Director of Public Affairs for the Log Cabin Republicans, whose national office he co-founded in 1993.

Unlike Chris, Kevin remains a registered Republican although his voting trends independent. If you've visited Club Whirled, Kevin's hilarious, eloquent, touching and often personal blog, then you already know that he thinks in an independent way as well.
