Kevin Funk, Manager

Kevin's journey also began at The Step House as a resident in 2019.

His sobriety date is August 20, 2019 and he has never left, giving selflessly of himself in service to being not only a manager but a role model and mentor for residents.

Kevin is like a father to the residents - kind, helpful, but stern in keeping chaos from running through the house, making sure everyone is where they are supposed to be and doing what they are supposed to do.

He is known, to some, as "Mighty Mouse" because he always comes to save the day whenever anyone, anywhere needs help.

Kevin says that he feels such gratitude in working with men at

J & K Step House, watching men transform themselves as sober fathers so that they can be a part of their children's lives.

Kevin loves working with the residents, as he wants to be a part of something that's greater than himself, which gives him purpose. 

Most of all, he feels that there is no one better to work with than John Warr!
