Management, strategic analysis, applied linguistics, editing, design and layout, text analysis and translation. Wordsmith, thinker, linguist, and champion of free choice. Not quite as fast as he used to be (but considerably improved), Kevin still manages to be as subversive as possible. He has difficulty with authority, and cheerfully lends his analytical and linguistic talents to deciphering bureaucratic nonsense and overcoming red tape. He has many satisfied clients.
