A Ph.D student in informatics at Indiana University, Kevin is rich in spirit. He wrestles and reads with his kids, does a hilarious Christian Slater imitation and lights up his wife's days.

Ultimately, the project was constrained by the length of the day and the size of the space (some complained about it being a fire hazard).
