A Personal Journey of Resilience & Discovery

Kevin’s path to founding Viviscent Wellness Foundation (VWF) was deeply personal. While preparing for medical school, his life took an unexpected turn when he suffered a stroke and was later diagnosed with stomach cancer.

Following traditional treatments, he endured opioid addiction, which led to further complications—including colon cancer and a second stroke. During his battle for survival, Kevin’s wife, Jocelyn, encouraged him to explore natural therapies, nutraceuticals, and cannabinoids. Through extensive research and self-discovery, he experienced a remarkable recovery, igniting his passion for plant-based medicine and biotechnology-driven wellness solutions.

Determined to help others access safer, more effective treatments, Kevin founded Viviscent Wellness Foundation, a nonprofit committed to reducing pharmaceutical toxicity, promoting holistic healing, and providing stable housing for long-term wellness.

A Mission to Support Veterans & Underserved Communities

Kevin’s mission took on even greater urgency after the tragic loss of his best friend, Jason Rayner, a U.S. veteran who lost his battle with PTSD in 2014. Jason’s passing left a profound impact, reinforcing Kevin’s dedication to supporting veterans struggling with mental health challenges, addiction, and housing insecurity.

Through Viviscent Wellness Foundation, Kevin is pioneering:

• Sustainable, affordable housing initiatives for veterans and underserved families.
• Holistic mental health programs, integrating therapy, peer support, and alternative healing.
• Career development and workforce training, including entrepreneurship support.
• Addiction recovery resources, reducing reliance on pharmaceuticals and offering natural alternatives.
• A community-driven approach, ensuring every veteran and individual has a place to call home.

His goal is to ensure that veterans and underserved families receive the care, housing, and alternative treatment options they deserve, breaking cycles of homelessness, addiction, and economic instability.
