Kevin founded GuestBlogPoster in May of 2012 after working for SEO.com (2010-2012) and OrangeSoda (2007-2010). He grew up in Pleasant Grove, Utah and has lived in Utah Valley the majority of his life. Cars, motorcycles, and basically anything else with a motor is something he is an avid fan of. Marathons and gyms; not so much.

When Kevin was 13 in Jr. High, he was modifying fireworks that accidentally lead to a bomb scare that was on the news. Needless to say, he now leaves the pyrotecnics to the professionals.

Tanya is a born and raised Utahn, who came to work for Guest Blog Poster in October of 2012, back when the company was about 4 people large. She has a knack for anything political, and is never scared to voice her opinion, which is precisely why she’s planning on attending a university in the near future to expand on her passion for arguing. It is her dream to move to the north western part of the US, where the sun is scarce, and the men are bearded.

Though Tanya has many, many talents, she has probably wowed more audiences with her Arnold Schwarzenegger impression, her knack for exactly reciting movie lines, or her vast knowledge of anything to do with the cosmos.

Jason can only be described in the same way that Winston Churchill described the intentions of Russia circa WWII; “…a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.” To even attempt to unravel such a knot would be fruitless. However, one thing I can tell you for certain is that Jason has 3 great loves. 1. His family, including the love of his life and two amazing and beautiful children. 2. Books 3. Music, for in the lovely words of Nietzche “Without music, life would be a mistake.”

Jason first learned to operate an automobile when he was 10, living on a farm in Boulder, UT. In addition to being a rancher, his dad also acted as the town bus driver. Every day after school they’d drop the other dozen or so school kids at their stops and head home, where Jason would climb out of the bus and into a gold-colored Oldsmobile to follow his dad the 3 or so miles to return the bus.

McKenzie Livingston graduated from BYU-I without a ring on her finger. But she DID get a degree in English because she loves the smell of books, and she’s not even sorry. In college, she spent her days and nights in the library writing numerous papers; so many papers, in fact, that the Sierra Club started to come to her door and have serious conversations with her about killing the rainforest. She also tutored international students on proper English use, like how and when to say “swagger.” She now has her own blog, which is a great thing to read if it’s after midnight, you just drank a little too much Kool-Aid, and you enjoy googling “space cats” in your spare time.

McKenzie likes Mexican food more than most Mexicans do. She can play the harmonica. She once took a nap on top of an ancient pyramid. She can’t do a cartwheel. This sad fact keeps her up at night.
