Kevin is originally a Wisconsin native. He attended the University of Wisconsin – Madison and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics. After graduating he owned and managed a 220 acre certified organic farm and 20,000 sq. ft. greenhouse for thirteen years. Tomatoes were his specialty and passion, but then he has always been passionate and a perfectionist about everything he has done.
After moving to Florida in 2002, Kevin worked as an independent insurance agent and then as a convenience store manager for one of the largest privately owned companies in the US. An experience that gave him insight into how large corporations function financially. He then landed at Buelow Financial Group where he became assistant to the founder and President, Dale Buelow. After a season of mentoring from Dale, a fellow Badger, and with his highest recommendation, Kevin took over all of his tax clients as Dale stepped away from doing taxes after 35 years. Prior to becoming a partner at Legacy Tax, Kevin spent five years working at Buelow Tax Service. He earned his Enrolled Agent certification in 2012.
Kevin has held a Florida Life, Health and Annuity insurance license and the Series 7 securities license. He is well suited to work with clients that have more complex sources of investment income. He specializes in individual, trust and estate tax returns. “Every tax return is important, because it is your tax return. The more complex a return is, the more fun it is because of the challenge.”
Kevin has successfully mentored dozens of other tax preparers in studying and preparing for their Enrolled Agent exams. Like all Enrolled Agents, he is required to take continuing education courses each year to stay informed of the ever changing rules and regulations of the IRS. Kevin is also a member of The National Association of Tax Professionals.
In his free time, Kevin enjoys biking, travel, reading a good IRS publication and is still trying to teach himself Russian.
