Background:
Since 2003, Kevin has been amazing audiences throughout Atlanta with his uniqiue giant tarantula, a quadruped (walking on all fours) billy goat, a strong and conniving red-tailed hawk, a friendly three-hundred-year-old British dragon, a wily and bouncy little red fox, a hyperactive little squirrel, a South African penguin that can actually go for a swim in a pool, and even a seven-foot tall white stork and a giant triceratops!
Kevin's talents do go beyond costume puppets to include the realm of hand-and-rod puppets, and many a crowd has been drawn into the magical antics of some of his close companions like Savannah P. Fox, Sheldon P. Foxworthy, Rocket J. Raccoon, and Flip-Flop the Lop Eared Bunny. Kevin also does fully-staged half-hour puppet shows, which are perfect for birthday parties and social events.
Kevin has appeared at hundreds of events and venues around the Greater Atlanta area including the Fernbank Museum of Natural History, Duluth Fall Festival, Children's Heatlhcare Festival of Trees, the Atlanta Parent Magazine Family Block Party, and the May-Retta Daze and Marietta Harvest Square festivals held on the Marietta Square.
