Kevin joined Gentz Financial in January of 2022. He grew up in Lakeville, Minnesota, where he was heavily involved in both wrestling and football. After graduating high school, Kevin attended Minnesota State University-Mankato, where he earned a bachelor’s in corporate Finance with an accounting minor.

A year after working in the wholesale lumber industry, Kevin realized his passion was to assist individuals and families with planning for their futures. Kevin began his career in the financial services industry at Allianz Life in 2016, wholesaling fixed indexed annuities. Kevin quickly moved from taking inbound calls to managing some of the top advisor relationships in the industry. This position provided him the opportunity to work closely with Nyles Gentz and Gentz Financial Services.

Kevin is committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and professionalism while working with the individuals and families Gentz Financial serves.

Kevin and his fiancé, Brianna, purchased a home in Monticello, Minnesota in 2019. They look forward to planting their roots and growing within the central Minnesotan communities. In Kevin’s free time, he enjoys hunting, fishing, and spending time with his family.
