Kevin was born Dec. 11, 1954, in Monticello, Iowa, the son of Arthur J. and Regina (O'Rourke) Schmidt. Following graduation from Maquoketa Valley High School, Kevin entered the United States Air Force and spent the majority of his tour of duty in England. It is here that Kevin developed his appreciation for soccer. Kevin then attended the University of Northern Iowa and graduated with a degree in accounting. The majority of his working career was in manufacturing and cost accounting which he thoroughly enjoyed.

He married Resa Main on Sept. 1, 1979, at First Assembly of God in Des Moines, which resulted in his pride and joy, Allison. They were later divorced.

Kevin's most recent employer was Trapeze ITS, (Constellation Software) in Cedar Rapids.

Kevin's priorities were the Lord, Allison, baseball and work - in that order.
