Kevin Treanor’s professional life grew beyond anything he ever imagined. From turning wrenches to running some of the toughest stores in retail, he rose to become a multi-unit manager—all within two miles of where he grew up. Along the way, he and his brother Joe worked side by side for more than 30 years, building careers and memories together.
Kevin’s story includes moments of challenge and resilience: being there for first responders on 9/11 with the gear and batteries they needed, facing the devastating loss of his brother to cancer, and living through the unimaginable tragedy of his daughter Harley’s drowning. But it’s also a story of how he found the road back, lifted by the people who showed up for him, and how those experiences shaped him into a beacon of empathy and strength for others.
In this conversation, Kevin reflects on the lessons of retail, the people who mattered most, and how tragedy transformed him into someone who not only survived but continues to give back.
