His experience brings Decatur a large network of professionals in site selection, industrial development, domestic and international business, local, state and federal governments as well as critical resource partners that increase Decatur’s competitive position for responsible growth.
Kevin’s experience includes leadership in recruiting new industry into Lubbock, Texas where he worked with major companies to create 400 new jobs and over $200,000,000 in new capital investment.
