Kevin
O'Connor, Host from the Emmy Award-Winning
television series, This Old HouseŽ |
 |
Nominated for an
"Outstanding Service Show Host" Emmy Award in his debut season,
Kevin O'Connor is the newest member of America's favorite home
improvement team. This year he enters his fifth season as host of
the Emmy Award-winning series, This Old House, the
Emmy-nominated series, Ask This Old House, and the A&E
series, Inside This Old House. He also serves on the
editorial board of This Old House magazine, published by This
Old House Ventures, Inc.
Kevin, along with his four brothers and two sisters, grew up on
various job sites led by his father, a civil engineer. Years later
he remains an avid home enthusiast who is in the midst of renovating
his first home, a Victorian fixer-upper. When Kevin, a lifelong fan
of This Old House, and his wife Kathleen became overwhelmed
by their long to-do list, they sent an e-mail seeking help from the
Ask this Old House experts. |

To their surprise
and delight, the House call served as Kevin's first screen
test to serve as the new host (the third host in the history
of the pioneer home improvement series). The rest is
history.
Kevin received
a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from the College of the
Holy Cross in 1990 and a Master's of Business Administration
degree from Boston University in 1999. Most recently Kevin
worked for Bank of America as a Senior Vice President in the
Commercial Real Estate Group and before that in the Sports
Finance Group at Fleet Bank.
Originally from New Jersey and an avid traveler, Kevin lives
with his wife and son in an 1894 Queen Anne Victorian home
north of Boston. |
