Biography:
Kevin Roberts was raised on a farm and discovered early on that he got along much better with the machinery than with the animals. After a 6 year stint as a union Bricklayer in the city of Milwaukee, Kevin spent 6 years as head of maintenance at a Christian Youth camp in northern Wisconsin. It was there he met his wife Cynthia. In 1989 he opened Roberts Repair, servicing cars, trucks, and equipment. In 1996 the county approached him about servicing their ambulance fleet. Due to the specific and technical nature of these vehicles he deemed it necessary to do due diligence in both education and certification. After years of study and attendance of conferences and classes he was able to become certified as an EVT Master Ambulance technician. This led Kevin to be invited to become part of the EVTCC Validation conference as a committee member working on test development for EVTCC Ambulance Certification. After serving on most of the Ambulance committees and chairing a couple of them, he was asked to join the board of directors of the EVTCC in January 2014. Roberts Repair has expanded to cover the northern half of the state of Wisconsin, and performs warranty work for a number of ambulance manufacturers. In the early 2000's Kevin wrote a column on maintenance subjects for Police Fleet Manager Magazine. Roberts Repair has added a location in the Wausau area to better serve his southern customers. In his spare time Kevin also has serves as an adjunct instructor and Nicolet Technical College and is presently a trainer for Carquest Technical Institute, teaching technicians throughout the Midwest.
