Kevin has written for the HBO comedy special Sketch Pad and for numerous children's television shows, including Waffles + Mochi's Restaurant for Netflix and the Obamas' Higher Ground Productions, and as Head Writer of Blue's Clues & You! for Nick Jr. and the Clifford the Big Red Dog reboot for Amazon and PBS Kids (GLAAD Media Award Nomination).
Kevin is the recipient of the Heideman Award for his play The Greekest of Tradegies (Actors Theatre of Louisville) and has earned several Lortel and Drama Desk Award nominations for his work on the off-Broadway productions of Skippyjon Jones, Click Clack Moo, and We the People.
