Kevin grew up in Woodbury, Minnesota, and went to Saint Cloud State University and the University of River Falls Wisconsin. Kevin now lives in Somerset, Wisconsin with his wife Megan and their two boys, Jude and Lincoln.
His journey into plastics started 18 years ago at a small injection molding company in Wisconsin. Kevin threw himself into learning everything he could about the industry. He took all of AIM’s development courses, plus training with industry leaders Mike Sepe and John Bozzelli, to build his knowledge in injection molding. He also provided consulting for some clients on how to improve part and tooling design to reduce costs and lead-times.
Kevin joined Beaumont Technologies in February 2011, and now he’s a Senior Sales Manager covering much of the U.S. But his impact goes beyond sales. He’s President of SPE Upper Midwest, founded Molding Our Future (a non-profit that introduces kids to injection molding as a career), and regularly guest lectures at UW-Stout’s Plastics Engineering Program.
His customers love working with him because he responds quickly and always has an answer. And when he doesn’t? He picks up the phone and calls one of Beaumont’s engineers who does.
In Kevin’s own words: “We’re here to help the industry. If your company touches injection molding, we can help. If it’s not us, I’ll connect you to the right partner.”
Fun Fact: Kevin and his family are hardcore ice fishermen. We’re talking days on a frozen Wisconsin lake in a custom fish house that’s more like a luxury RV, complete with a fireplace, TVs, and a sectional sofa. Now that’s commitment to the hobby!
Whether you need help with simulation, material characterization, or world-class training, Kevin and the Beaumont team are here for you. ✨
