Kevin was surrounded by friends and family Wednesday night as he was recognized by the Fort Worth Business Press as a 2012 40 Under 40 honoree.
Among those celebrating with Kevin were his brother and sister-in-law who traveled from San Antonio to cheer him on, as well as Kevin’s wife, Carrie; his business partner and co-president Ben Tiblets, Ben’s wife, Elizabeth, among other close friends. Our table was right by the stage so we got a great shot of Kevin as he stood in front of the crowd.
The event was sold out with nearly 500 people in attendance. The 40 Under 40 Event brings together a group of motivated, engaged and dynamic individuals who are executives, entrepreneurs and community leaders.
It’s pretty incredible to be surrounded by Fort Worth’s up and coming stars, especially when they include people like Jon Daniels, the youngest General Manager in MLB history with the Texas Rangers.
It’s even more amazing to have one of our own recognized in that group. Kevin’s advice to entrepreneurs: “Don’t give up; some very difficult challenges in my career have been overcome by refusing to give up.”
