The Turning Point
Kevin鈥檚 approach to business went through major changes as a teenager. During his second day on the job at a local ice cream shop, his boss came into the front of the store where Kevin was scooping ice cream. She looked at Kevin and asked him to perform a task that he wasn鈥檛 expecting. What happened next had a profound effect on Kevin 鈥� one that stayed with him for the rest of his life.

Foundations of an Empire
As a university student, Kevin鈥檚 innate business sense led him along several different paths 鈥� including some very unusual, very entrepreneurial ways of making a profit.
Not long after he finished his MBA, Kevin had a meeting that changed his life forever. He met a man who had a strange idea for a software product 鈥� an idea with huge, high-profit potential that Kevin immediately recognized.
After years of ups, downs, sacrifices, challenges, and lessons learned 鈥� not to mention a critical phone call that nearly cost him everything 鈥� the opportunity that Kevin saw eventually turned into a computer software giant that was acquired for more than $4 billion dollars.

Investor Extraordinaire
After his extraordinary success at the software company he founded 鈥� and a difficult period of obstacles and legal disputes 鈥� Kevin eventually found himself on television, quickly becoming a sought-after host and personality on a range of shows 鈥� including Discovery鈥檚 Project Earth, CBC鈥檚 Dragons鈥� Den, and ABC鈥檚 Shark Tank.
Kevin has since launched O鈥橪eary Funds, an investment fund company; O鈥橪eary Fine Wines; and a best-selling book series on financial literacy.
In 2014, Kevin founded O鈥橪eary Financial Group 鈥� a group of brands and services that share Kevin鈥檚 guiding principles of honesty, directness, convenience, and above all, great value. ...more
