About Kevin Padula

Kevin Padula is a Rhode Island native who has always been fascinated by the historic sites throughout New England.

After graduating from the University of Rhode Island with a bachelor’s degree in economics, he moved to Fort Myers, Florida. Today he works for Gartner, a research and advisory company, and often annoys his colleagues with stories of Rhode Island history. One day he hopes to return to New England and live in one of its historic towns.
