Kevin, a serial expat from America, has called Hegymagas, Hungary his expat home since 2007.

A self-confessed introvert, he is well aware that he is not the kind of American his Hungarian town were expecting, but his determination to make his passion profitable has endeared him to his new home. He possesses a keen wit and a dry sense of humour that makes reading about his life in the vineyard very entertaining.
