My name is Kevin Atkins. Although I am well-read and have a large number of hobbies and topics on which I am competent, my main areas of expertise are in information technology and youth ministry.

I am a systems engineer with nearly three decades of experience in the computer science field. I received my first computer when I was in grade school when home PCs were new. It had a whopping 2k of RAM and no permanent storage. I built my first computer when a Sophomore in high school. I stumbled into information technology as a career when trying desperately to escape the food industry. I entered a large company that had one mainframe and two PCs and developed it to 20 servers and 276 PCs connected in a network that spanned the state with 12 locations. I joined a systems engineering firm shortly after. I am now the information technology specialist at the Catholic Archdiocese of Oklahoma City.

I have been very active in youth ministry since my graduation from high school. I have been a vocational youth pastor. I have been working with youth for nearly twenty years at a large interdenominational church in Oklahoma City.
