Back on the WJLB Airwaves

Kevin with Dr. Derius & Big Dog Blast

Kevin & RST Haleem

When Kevin walks into a room everyone notices. His smooth voice and warm asking, ‘What’ss up?’ let’s everyone know he’s there.

As an on-air personality for Detroit’s WJLB FM 98, he won many metro-Detroiters over with his electrifying presence. Following a life-altering accident Kevin came to Special Tree Rehab where, no surprise, he’s doing the same.

Kevin arrived at Special Tree’s Chesley house in mid November. In just a short time he’s brought new life into the house and has made tremendous progress in his rehabilitation. Chesley  Residential Manager Kim Townsend calls Kevin “the model client.” And explains that he’s always up and ready for therapy, works hard while there, and never misses a session. She believes Kevin understands that he must work hard in order to reach his long-term goals.

Like many clients, Kevin’s long term goal is to return to work and to be at home with his family. And because of his good work, he’s well on his way. Recently, he made a guest appearance on his former time slot on WJLB.  Kevin shared insights on brain injury with his listeners and colleagues, bringing new light to his former show. Metro Detroit responded so positively that the station is welcoming him back this coming weekend. As for his goal of returning home to continue his active role as husband and father, Kevin has even more encouragement. He and his wife recently welcomed a new baby girl into the world. Kevin’s path to recovery continues until he can return to his two passions in life: radio and his family.
