Kevin is involved with several other local ventures and most recently, as co-owner, opened Sault Ste. Marie’s newest restaurant.

Audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions.

“The Sault has so many successful entrepreneurs and innovators, but we rarely find out firsthand, the steps they took to achieve success and the challenges they overcame to get here,” states Nevin Buconjic, president, StartUP Sault. “Startup Talks is our platform to learn more about local entrepreneurs and hear their stories directly. It is important and enlightening to hear the journeys of successful entrepreneurs. We are excited to hear Kevin’s story and celebrate local success.”
