Kevin Bauer

OK, here's the whole professional explanation thing:

Ecommerce and marketing senior executive with deep experience at taking smaller businesses and making them big.  A lover of challenges, Kevin moved to England to be one of the first employees to open Enterprise Rent-A-Car in the UK.  After helping make it the largest rental company in the UK, and profitable in less than 3 1/2 years, he left to join Yahoo! as European Director for Autos where he lead the merging of the Kelkoo eCommerce business model with the Yahoo! media model and created the 2nd largest automotive site in 9 European countries.  

After moving back to the US, he joined Altrec.com as VP of eCommerce and Marketing, taking them from a niche site to an IR top 250 business, more than tripling revenues and profitability. 

Kevin then moved on to be the VP of marketing for Alchemy Solutions in order to reinvent their brand, winning the praise of the industry, customers, and analysts alike while growing lead generation nearly 100% Y/Y.

Kevin's current adventure is as the Director of Digital Commerce for Cabela's, the World's Foremost Outfitter and the largest outdoor store on the planet.  

Kevin has been there, done that, and has the metrics to prove it on the professional side.

OK, now the good stuff:

Kevin is considered to be in top 1% of Star Wars fans galaxy wide.  He considers his alter ego to be Aragorn, King of Gondor.  Kev is a BIG lover of animals, especially his 3 dogs, 3 chinchillas and bunny.  He is a bit of an international man of mystery who's basically American, but lived much of his adult live in England.  

Gadget geek, sports fan and ultra competitive at pretty much everything; Kevin just can't sit around.  He's always hatching some damn fool crusade plan to rule the galaxy, stop his dogs from making a mess, go on a great mountain biking ride, catch the worlds biggest fish or run a marathon in less than 4 hours. 

Kevin is an entrepreneurial sort and a leader at heart.  He loves helping people be successful and watching them shine, and he has been through enough personal and professional success as well as tragedy to know deeply, and live passionately for, the things that really matter.
