Kevin's Bio
Kevin McDonald, host and creator of "Kevin McDonald Presents…..",
was born in Idaho Falls on September 11, 1957. His family moved to Seattle shortly thereafter where he has lived ever since.
Kevin grew up in a traditional family and was interested in many things while growing up, but mostly was involved in sports
(baseball, football, basketball) and knocking around with friends. Kevin developed an unusual interest in historical as well
as current events and the significance of those events, including: the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and MLK, the moon landing,
the Vietnam War, and protests as well as the social upheaval of the sixties and early seventies. Musically, Kevin was inspired
and shaped by the music and times of the Beatles, and their impact on the world affected him profoundly. As most young men are, Kevin was unsure how he would like to spend
his life or what to do once he left High School, so he tried to find his "niche". He sold shoes, roofed, made cabinets,
sold retail, never really finding anything that inspired passion in him. He even tried to return to his successful background
in sports and became a Boxer with an eye towards turning professional. At this point in his life, God intervened and allowed
a major facial injury (fractured cheek bone with subsequent surgery) to end this dream. Once recovered, Kevin stumbled onto
the profession that would occupy him for the next 25 years, the hospitality industry. He found the passion that service to
others provided for him and he flourished. Kevin enjoyed success at every level, be that in Restaurants, or the sales associated
with the food industry (including selling dead, dismembered chicken). In addition to his career, Kevin was interested in many other things, and set out to
experience the most out of life. He attended college part time, and joined the theater department where he participated in
many theatrical productions including, "Fiddler on the Roof" and Shakespeare's, "Taming of the Shrew",
where he carried the lead role. He also learned about radio by working as a disc jockey at the local radio station. Kevin
has also been active in his community, serving as Parent Group President, Cub Scout Master and Sports Coach for various teams.But Kevin soon found himself wondering if "this is
all there is", and what great mysteries were out there waiting for his personal discovery. Kevin began to search for
new Possibilities and the great truths in life and began to realize that many people have this same deep yearning to experience,
learn and discover who they really are and what ROLE in the world they are meant to play. In continuing the spirit of service
to others, which has been the theme of his entire life, Kevin decided to share his search with the public by creating a radio
talk show called Positive Talk Radio, which has evolved over time to become “Kevin McDonald Presents…….
The show is designed to open the door to self-discovery for its listeners, and to empower them to achieve the greatness that
is inherent in all of us. Kevin has proven to be more than an able guild in this search and his lighthearted, fun, and engaging
style attracts much listener interest. And due to his life experience and interests, he is able to hold engaging conversations
on an abundance of topics. It's hard to listen to his show without smiling along with this jovial man, as it is easy to
see that helping others and spreading the power of being POSITIVE
through the airwaves is the very reason Kevin McDonald was put on this Earth.
