A researcher in spintronics at the IBM Almaden Research Center for almost 25 years, Kevin has also been costuming since he was old enough to draw eyes on a paper bag and call it art. His costumes have been known to not only glow and rotate, but occasionally explore strange new universes all by themselves.

Kevin is one of the small gang of costumers who created the International Costumers Guild. This Evil Genius spent a year raising money for charity as the Sapphire and Steel Leather Emperor 34 of the Imperial Royal Lion Monarchy, and has signed away several years of his life to chair Costume-Con 26, to be held in April 2008.
