Kevin was raised in the small north Florida town of Branford, near the Suwannee River. Thanks to his dad, he learned at an early age the joys of hunting and fishing and spending as much time as possible with a shotgun or a fishing pole in hand. After earning a degree in Video Production from The Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale, Kevin gained commercial production, advertising, and live television experience at a Gainesville, FL TV station. It was that experience that led him to meet Michael Lee and Trey Wetherington to form the founding team of Southern Backwoods Adventures.

"I think its every young hunters dream to see themselves on an outdoor television show. Growing up I would have never dreamed of having the opportunities that we have every single year through our show. It is truly a humbling experience and a great honor to present our show to the viewers that we reach every week." - Kevin Knighton
