Hey guys! My name is Kevin Pribramsky, KP, or known to many as Big Kev. I will be the Residential Assistant of Walsh floors 1 & 2! I am a sophomore in the School of Business pursuing a BSBA in Accounting and hopefully will get into the Accelerated Accounting program to get my MBA or possibly a JD-MBA. Besides school I’m your typical 6’ 4” 330lbs guy. As stated, I’m a pretty big guy! I had a successful career in sports; I was a big time wrestler, track & field thrower, and football player in my hometown of Key West, FL but gave up playing ball due to injuries and switched to Golf, though I am training and working towards possibly trying to walk on to da Hurricanes. I spent half of my life in Key West, FL but am originally from Chicago, IL. I love watching sports, playing COD online (though I am not that good) and listening to music! Family is my life, I come from a big family, my dad has 6 kids in all and we range from 3 years old to 22! Don’t hesitate to contact me on Facebook or come by my room! I am always there to talk and help any of your guys out; I have some pretty crazy stories from my crazy life and I am a great listener (ladies!!) so don’t be afraid to stop by whenever!! |
