# Kevin Fairbanks

> Kevin Fairbanks is a service-disabled veteran and entrepreneur living in Da Nang, Vietnam. He builds businesses around the world and coaches other entrepreneurs.

Kevin Fairbanks is a father, a service-disabled veteran, and a serial entrepreneur living in Da Nang, Vietnam. Short of being a father, serving in the United States Air Force was the most important period of his life. That service took him across the world. Injuries on a mission led to an honorable discharge.

In the nearly thirty years since, he has built businesses around the world and worked in technology, helping other businesses put technology into how they operate. He teaches veterans and other entrepreneurs how to start, grow, and scale, through workshops, writing, mentorship, and training. He also runs the Veteran Entrepreneur Mastermind, where veterans work through business ownership together. In 2016 he completed the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities and received the Marvin Malikow award for leadership.

He still travels, explores, and takes on new adventures, and he works with the technology of radio as an amateur radio operator.

As a Service Disabled Veteran, it is his duty to support his fellow veterans and those who serve us today. Even more, it is his privilege.
