Kevin was appointed to this role in 2010, in which he directed USGS programs in geologic mapping, data preservation, geospatial, biological Information, informatics, and the immense USGS library. From 2002-2010, he was USGS Chief Information officer and Chief Technology Officer. Before joining USGS, Kevin held roles with the Coast Guard and the Navy.  He holds a Master of Science in Information Systems from Syracuse University, a Chief Information Officer Certificate from National Defense University, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Management Information Systems from James Madison University.
