Kevin, who's based in Southern California, has more than 14 years of experience at American Banker. He previously served as the publication's consumer finance reporter and, earlier, while based in Washington, D.C., as its Capitol Hill correspondent.
His investigative journalism has been honored numerous times by both the Society of American Business Editors and Writers and the American Society of Business Publication Editors. In 2019 he won the Jesse H. Neal Award for the best range of work by a single author.
Kevin's career in financial journalism grew out of two jobs he had in Washington, D.C., during and immediately after the global financial crisis. In 2009, as a fellow in the American Political Science Association's Congressional Fellowship Program, he worked for a Senate subcommittee that was investigating the causes of the crisis. He later worked on the staff of the Congressional Oversight Panel, which was charged with overseeing the use of bailout funds.
