Get to Know Kevin

Kevin Engelke is a passionate advocate for the Venice community, running for Seat 3 on the Venice City Council. Originally from New Jersey, Kevin and his wife Janet fell in love with Venice after a spontaneous stop on their way to Tampa. Venice's scenic beauty and small-town charm made an instant impression and they knew they had found their new home.
Kevin brings a wealth of experience to his campaign, with a strong background in problem-solving with over 43 years of business experience. Kevin holds an undergraduate degree from Grove City College and an MBA from Drexel University. He has served as president of his homeowner's association and is now a member of his condo association's board. He was also a board member of his local youth athletic association. Kevin has the knowledge, skills and insights needed to tackle the challenges facing Venice today.
Deeply committed to his community, Kevin and Janet are active members of Bayside Community Church and several other prominent local organizations. He is also a strong proponent of substance abuse education for high school and college age students. Kevin and Janet have four adult daughters and seven grandchildren.
Kevin believes that Venice's rapid growth is its biggest challenge. He has met with many local leaders and experts discussing the challenges of this pressing issue. Listening to the citizens of Venice is an important step to a better understanding of these issues. Knowing what the citizens want and balancing the requirements of the state regulations requires a unique skill. Kevin has honed this skill during his 40 plus years as a negotiator of business transactions.
Running for Venice City Council is a natural extension of his dedication to making Venice an even better place to live.
