Kevan and I first met when we got hired to work on a writing project together. What began as a professional relationship expanded into chats about our mutual love of storytelling, travel, family, and everything in between. After the project was finished, I found myself seeking Kevan’s counsel beyond work into deeply personal matters. I also just liked talking to the guy. As a man who understands caregiving and friendship, he is an outstanding guide and calm in the storm of life who is always excited to chat and dream with me. But if you were expecting this to be about an able guy helping a disabled guy, guess again. Through his humor and heart and genuine interest in others Kevan has shown me what true care giving is: a compassionate soul sharing the ups and downs of daily life, a true friend.
