His professional trajectory is a testament to his determination and work ethic\, commencing work at UPS by loading trucks while simultaneously attending night law school in 1984. Over a remarkable 33-year career at UPS\, he delved into various roles\, predominantly managing operations and industrial engineering groups across the nation. His final seven years were dedicated to serving as a contract administrator in corporate Real Estate. \nWith memberships in the New Jersey and District of Columbia bar associations\, Kevin retired in February 2017\, marking the transition to his active involvement in mentorship roles with ACP and Hire Heroes USA. He contributes to numerous organizations\, including the American Legion\, Knights of Columbus\, and previously held positions such as Vice President and board member of the CAC of Sandy Springs/Dunwoody. \nBeyond his professional commitments\, Kevin is an accomplished author\, blogger\, and podcaster\, utilizing platforms like VETS-TALK and being an early member of VETLANTA\, where he currently serves on its board as an At-Large member. He has authored four books and co-authored a fifth. Kevin’s online presence reflects his diverse interests\, with websites dedicated to his books\, podcasts\, and professional endeavors. \nHis son\, Dan\, served as an F18E pilot\, Top Gun Instructor\, and US Navy Lieutenant Commander. Kevin reveres Dan as his hero. Kevin and his wife\, Maureen\, have four children and seven grandchildren.

We encourage you to show up and show your support for the local veteran that is being highlighted this month! \nThis month\, we are proud to present you with Lynda Cox Associate Vice President for Development and Government Affairs Tunnel to Towers Foundation: \nThe events of September 11\, 2001\, set Lynda Cox on a path to support the Nation and the warfighter in whatever way she could. Raised in the Army\, Ms. Cox is the daughter of a soldier and the mother of a sailor who has spent the bulk of her career supporting the warfighter. She joined Tunnel to Towers Foundation in April of 2023 as the Associate Vice President for Development and Government Affairs where she advocates for the dignity and security of veterans across the country who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Ms. Cox began her career in business development for physical and cyber security for companies like SAIC and ManTech. She attempted to retire and moved to Utah in 2013. While in Utah\, she realized retirement was not in her DNA and developed a robust consultancy in physical and cyber security\, business process and organization\, federal and state political strategy\, communications\, and campaign management. Eager to rejoin to the mission of warfighter support\, she moved back to the Washington\, DC\, area in 2022 where she returned to SAIC as the Communications Officer for the Chief Data Officer for a federal agency before accepting her current position at the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. She brings her experience in leading high-challenge program capture\, business development\, strategy\, strategy development\, and communications to the Tunnel to Towers mission to support our nation’s heroes once their uniformed service has concluded. \n*Business Professional Attire is required for entrance at the Centre Club.
