ABOUT
All my life, I’ve loved creating and being creative.
Growing up, I wanted to be Batman, a policeman, social worker, stuntman, youth pastor and a DJ.
Right around college, I got into radio and thought…”DANG, I’m on the radio!!”
But as cool as that was, something else came knocking that would change my life. VIDEO in the form of TV. So after working in radio, I jumped into the world of TV and I was hooked!
Over the years, I worked for TV stations affiliated with FOX, NBC, CBS, ABC and even The CW. My last job in TV was leading an amazing creative team at one of the most respected and forward-thinking FOX affiliates in the country. We created amazing campaigns, won awards, made a lot of money and had a ton of fun too.
But like a lot of media companies, down-sizing hit and my position was eliminated but not my passion for creating video content and helping people grow and learn.
Rather than sit around, I started my own business - Kevin Kolbe Media - and decided to use my gifts to help others use their gifts to make an impact in the world with online video.
At that same time I also focused on creating content on YouTube. I did dabble with other platforms but kept coming back to YouTube.
For me there, YouTube has been and continues to be the best platform to teach, earn, and connect with others around the world wide web.
That’s the business part of me. On the personal side, I'm a husband, dad of three, including one with special needs, and a Jesus freak.
If you're interested in working together, let's connect and create something together.
Until then, keep creating because the world needs you.

Katie Fawkes, Ecamm Live
“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Kevin Kolbe on a live video series called Behind the Live on YouTube. He walked our customers, followers, and fans through video best practices, pro tips, and behind-the-scenes, answering questions along the way. He has a way of making complicated information feel easy and approachable.”
Eddie Field, Field Guide To DIY
“Kevin’s decades of experience in media (television production and marketing, radio on-air as well as in programming, education and entertainment video production, direction, editing, and videography) make him uniquely suited for this role and the reason he stands out when compared to those in the creator space today.”
Jessica Cote’, Rosy Revolver Silversmith
“A master storyteller, this guy takes your point of view on business, life, whatever it may be... and amplifies the message. You won't find a kinder, more genuine company to document your journey.”
Mark Myth, Professor of Art and Design
“I have known Kevin for several years. Besides one of the most affable and generous personalities you can find, he has a meticulous eye for astute observation. His years of experience has lead him to create a fantastic vision for media development. And go ahead...add to the punch an individualized touch that will fit your or your business with Kolbe Magic! Try some!”
Chris Woolard, dartILM
“Too bad they won't let me give 10 stars for Kevin! His heart for our project was as big as ours was and he's super fun to work with. His many years of video production and storytelling experience was evident during every step of the process.”
Seth Dechtman, The Keynote Curators
“When I was ready to level up my video broadcast and production game and broadcast strategy, after a thorough search, I hired Kevin Kolbe. My needs required varied levels of attention from beginner to more expert know how. This project required collaboration and a deep understanding of my business and my industry. Kevin provided so much more: powerful coaching on best practices for moderating, professional level know-how for correct use of lighting, sound, camera, and overall equipment configuration, as well as great direction on how to best distribute my videos. Kevin did the homework to know what would work best and often anticipated my needs.”
