I am Kevin Berk, a native San Diegan with more than twenty years of experience leading Operations, Web Design/Development, and Content teams of all types and sizes, ranging from local startups to grassroots nonprofits to international organizations. I am wholly committed to doing the best work possible, surrounded with talented people driven to level each other up, and being as good a person as I can be to the people who I spend my work and personal life with. I started Light at the End with Claire because, as someone who has struggled with depression and anxiety since I was able to talk, I wanted to help other people get the answers they needed, particularly about things people don’t tend to talk about.
This project is dedicated to the memory of Jonathan Bahm.
