Travel Advisor & Editor in Chief at Outdoorsy
I'm an investor and entrepreneur. I am curious by nature, always looking for new ways to learn about the world around me. I love to meet new people, talk about the world and get my hands dirty with things that fascinate me. I like investing in startups that are solving problems in areas that fascinate me. I want to be part of a team with passion and drive who can help build something great together. A few of my favorite things: 1. Insatiably curious about the world around me, I never seem to get enough about learning everything. 2. As an investor and entrepreneur, I am always thinking about what's next for people like us (and how we can help make it happen). 3. As a sales and operations specialist, I've seen firsthand the impact that others have had on our companies’ success—from managing logistics and operations to building better relationships with customers—and it makes me want to do all that much more!

Founder at Everki
I’m Kevin L., Founder and CEO of EVERKI global brand dedicated to creating high-quality, innovative bags and accessories for professionals on the go. With a background in engineering and a passion for travel and design, I started EVERKI to solve a problem I experienced firsthand: the lack of travel gear that truly balances functionality, durability, and modern style. From the beginning, my focus has been on thoughtful craftsmanship, attention to detail, and delivering real value to customers. I believe great design isn’t just about how something looks, it’s about how it works and how it fits into people’s lives. As a leader, I’m committed to building a brand rooted in integrity, sustainability, and purpose. For me, success is not only about growth, but about the positive impact we make on our customers, our communities, and our planet. EVERKI is more than a business, it’s a journey. And I’m proud of the path we continue to build, together.
