He was also a well-known Realtor throughout the Cincinnati area. He ultimately went on to work with Delta Airlines, where he pursued his dream of traveling the world.

Kelvin, “King of BDP” and life of the party, never left the house without his selfie stick and enjoyed putting smiles on the faces of everyone he encountered through his quick witted humor and outgoing nature.
