Kevin Stephan

Kevin (Jun Myung-Hwan) is a Korean-American adoptee and contributor for Chowder and Champions and Section 215. While Chowder and Champions lets him dive into all things Boston sports (his lifelong passion), Section 215 gives him the chance to cover Philadelphia's vibrant sports scene—right from the heart of the city. Originally from the Boston area and now based in Philly, Kevin brings a unique perspective to both fan bases. He holds a degree in Sport and Recreation Management from Temple University and has gained hands-on experience working with college and professional teams. When he’s not writing or watching a game, you can find him working at Philly’s top sports bar, getting in a workout, or catching an EDM show. He’s always looking to grow as a writer, connect with fellow fans, and find common ground—even between Boston and Philly (no easy task).
