Kevin has been active in the preservation community of the northeast US since 1995, when he received an MS in Historic Preservation (Conservation sector) from Columbia University. Since that time, he has worked in private preservation/conservation consulting within the design/construction industry, most recently at Jablonski Building Conservation, where he serves as a Senior Associate and Senior Conservator. During his career he has served in a significant capacity for Preservation Alumni, as chair of the Architecture Specialty Group of AIC, and for APTI. He also has enjoyed volunteering in a much simpler, boots-on-the-ground capacity for local groups such as Landmarks West! and Open House New York. He’s deeply enamored of the way our built heritage brings physical life to social and personal history, materials science, the development of technology and art; and he alternately amuses and bores his non-preservationist friends with frequent non-sequitur observations when walking around New York City. Originally from California, he lives with his family in Manhattan.
