Kevin Stephan
Kevin (Jun Myung-Hwan) is a Korean-American adoptee and contributor for Chowder and Champions and Section 215.

Originally from the Boston area and now based in Philly, Kevin brings a unique perspective to both fan bases. He holds a degree in Sport and Recreation Management from Temple University and has gained hands-on experience working with college and professional teams. When he’s not writing or watching a game, you can find him working at Philly’s top sports bar, getting in a workout, or catching an EDM show. He’s always looking to grow as a writer, connect with fellow fans, and find common ground—even between Boston and Philly (no easy task).

About FanSided
The idea of FanSided was born in 2007, when two brothers felt that their favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs, was being under-covered by the mainstream media. Taking matters into their own hands, they launched Arrowhead Addict, a move that would spawn the creation of FanSided in 2009, a network of over 300+ fan-powered unique sports, entertainment and lifestyle sites dedicated to team-specific, sport-specific, genre-specific, and fanbase-specific coverage. From sports, movies and TV to lifestyle and tech, FanSided has you covered.
