Kev's Biography

|
There are maybe
like five photos of Kevin in the world, and sadly,
this bad one is probably the best.

Kevin Glennon is an interactive brainstormer, teacher,
photographer, writer, business manager, producer, creative
mind, Renaissance guy, do-gooder, strange cat, and quite
a few other things. His gutsy, no-nonsense approach
to life very much influences his work and craft.
If you can expect Kevin to do something, it's going
to be exactly what nobody thought of doing before, and
it's probably going to sound like something that could
never happen. Weeks later, when it's off the ground
and running strong, you'll be shaking your head again
at his next "can't happen" idea that, surely
enough, starts to happen shortly thereafter.
A natural problem solver, Kevin showed his talents
even back in college while studying to become a high
school teacher. His college dropped the education certification
major for which he enrolled, so instead of choosing
another major, he simply changed the curriculum. When
he went for his master's degree, he once again created
(and even taught!) his own customized program. He finished
his undergraduate work in three years, and his graduate
work in one -- all the while working full-time.
His one main philosophy, and perhaps gift, in life
is that a good teacher can learn and teach anything.
After leaving college, he smooth-talked his way into
a computer training job at which he had no business
being. Knowing nothing about computers really, he smiled
his way through an interview, landed a job, and in the
two weeks before he started, learned everything he needed
to become a senior instructor within a few short months.
Eight months after that, he had learned enough about
the business to start his own company, and here he is
today.
Over the years, Kevin has changed his focus a few times,
slowly evolving his attention towards interactive business
and marketing work. He's worked on films and television
commercials alike, both in front of and behind the camera.
He's written many articles on just about everything,
and often writes short fiction just to make sure his
writing doesn't get too boring. He likes to walk into
a new company knowing nothing about the industry or
the people, and explain to the "plank owners"
two weeks later how their company operates, where the
market is going, and where the company can improve to
make things better.
It's what he does best -- he can learn anything quickly,
and be ready to synthesize solutions in record time.
And all the while, he'll tell you corny jokes and ensure
a generally tough process can be done in a relaxed,
supportive, and enjoyable environment.
