Senior reporter Kevin Swain has lived  in Grand Haven ever since he was born in 1997. A varsity track runner and co-captain of the varsity soccer team, Kevin does #sports. His true passion is history and his favorite hobby is posting up inside the local history room at Loudit Library on a rainy or snowy day. Swain is also a member of Student Senate and serves the city of Grand Haven on the Human Relations Commission, and for some reason is an officer for the Catalina Club. He thoroughly enjoys the beach at Grand Haven, and is running for President in 2040.
