    In this inaugural episode of “Humble Beginnings,” Kevin Kelly, chairman and CEO of Arcfield, takes us through the experiences, both professional and personal, that shaped the leader he is today and landed him at Arcfield. A self-proclaimed CIA brat born in Beirut, Lebanon, and raised overseas before returning to Northern Virginia for high school, Kelly gained a unique perspective on life and culture.

    As a kid, he was naturally curious about how things worked and started taking things apart and experimenting with woodworking in his parents’ garage. Later, he pursued engineering. Plus, hear about Kelly’s true first jobs, like mowing lawns at age 12 and working the loading dock at a mall.
