Originally from the Washington D.C. area, Kevin moved to Memphis to attend graduate school at The University of Memphis.

He “retired” from planning in 2003 to pursue real estate investing full-time.
Since “retiring,” Kevin’s main real estate investment strategy has been to buy and hold, otherwise known as landlording. Generally working in historic Midtown Memphis, Kevin is also known to fix and flip grand, historic homes when the right opportunity presents itself. He and his wife Terron (who is the principal broker at Perk Realty) have participated in dozens of real estate transactions in the Memphis metro area.
