Choosing Joy, Choosing Purpose
There are mornings when the world feels quiet enough for clarity to take shape. For Kevin Davis, that clarity often arrives during his sunrise walks, a grounding ritual that sets the tone for his day. In those early hours, he often reflects on one of the core principles he shares in his wellbeing talks: “You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your response.”
This simple idea, rooted in resilience and self-awareness, has guided Kevin through more than twenty-five years in the employee benefits industry. Today, as a Principal at EPIC Insurance Brokers & Consultants, he carries that message forward, shaping strategies, supporting clients, and inspiring workplaces to become more compassionate, inclusive, and connected.
A Journey Built on Understanding People
Early Foundations in Service and Integrity
Kevin’s academic foundation began at Saint Joseph’s University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and Labor Law. His studies instilled in him a deep respect for fairness, regulation, and accountability. These early lessons shaped the way he would later approach benefits consulting, reminding him that policies only matter when they meaningfully support the people they are designed to protect.
His pursuit of continued learning led him to earn the Chartered Healthcare Consultant designation, strengthening his expertise in healthcare reform and deepening his commitment to serving organizations with insight and integrity. Throughout his career, Kevin’s curiosity and drive to understand changing regulations have remained constant.
Professional Ascent: From Advisor to Principal
Building a Reputation for Trust and Compassion
Kevin’s professional journey includes respected roles at USI Insurance Services, Bank of America, Lacher & Associates, and Univest, where he served as Senior Vice President and Senior Benefits Consultant. Across every organization, one theme remained consistent: his ability to connect the technical side of benefits with the emotional realities employees face.
Human Resources Director Donald Mantell once shared that Kevin offered “creative options tailored to the needs of the employee base,” while maintaining cost stability and demonstrating genuine care. Chief Financial Officer Percy Naranjo described him as “a great advocate for our company” and praised the leadership reflected in his team’s performance.
