"It was 1986, I was 24 years old and working at Duke’s Sports Shop.

Jansen Sports was up for sale and I thought “sounds like a great idea!” I LOVE SPORTS and what they offer.  With the support of family and friends, I dove right in and quickly realized I was in the deep end and did not know how to swim.  Through much trial, error and hard work, KS Sports has persevered, grown and succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.

In spite of some hiccups in the road, I have been so extremely fortunate to have made so many friends over the past 34 years while working in this industry.

I feel so fortunate to have been able to do what I love for all these years." - Kevin Smith
