Get to Know Me Further:
I’m Kevin - though my friends call me Lambo. I grew up in Colorado Springs and now live in Boulder, where my connection to the outdoors traces back to my dad turning every backpacking trip into a lesson on birds, bugs, and paying attention to the world around you. My mom’s childhood on the small Japanese island of Chi Chi Jima - and her later struggles with PFAS-related health impacts - make the Erin Brockovichs of the world personal heroes and fuel my motivation for this work.
My wife, who moved from Japan with me to Colorado in 2000, and our teen-daughter keep our family rooted in both cultures. The mix of those influences – science, nature, identity, resilience – is the throughline in how I show up at work and in the rest of my life.
