Pastor Kevin is the Senior Pastor of Side-By-Side Church International located in Orange County, California.  He is a retired police officer with nearly 30 years of law enforcement experience including work with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, undercover narcotics, parolee apprehension, and thirteen years as a SWAT member. 

Kevin did not have a Christian background growing up but experienced a “Saul of Tarsus” conversion as a police sergeant in 1991.  From that moment, Kevin was filled with God’s love for others and was drawn to impoverished third world nations to minister God’s healing power in the “Regions Beyond”.

God has lead Kevin to minister in the alleyways, highways and underground churches in the nations of Iran, Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, Malaysia and Sri Lanka, where the preaching of the Gospel is illegal.  In addition, Kevin has ministered in the countries of Haiti, Kenya and Uganda during times of civil unrest.  This has allowed Kevin to experience God’s grace and guiding as He delivered Kevin in many situations.

In 2006, God placed it upon Kevin’s heart to eliminate “Child Starvation” in remote impoverished areas where food assistance is not already available.  This has lead to the establishment of the S.E.E.D. Program and the Children’s Food Distribution Centers in Uganda and Kenya.  Kevin is married to Teresa and they have three grandchildren.
