And with many of our listeners spending more time at home over the past couple of years, there is a good chance he has helped affect each of our daily lives through his products.  Today, Kevin is the EVP and President of the Dealer Business Unit for Springs Window Fashions, commonly known for Bali®, Graber®, and SunSetter™ brands.
