Kevin Low - President

Kevin credits his first job to his dad, a technology pioneer who started his own networking company in 1985. At age 10, Kevin and his brothers crawled through drop-down ceilings to thread coaxial cable as their dad set up computer networks for his clients.

His first paying gig at GE Capital landed him at the federally-funded R&D provider Mitre Corporation. There, he refined his trouble-shooting skills as the go-to guy for high-level users at all levels, from Ph.D.s to high-ranking military officials addressing issues of national importance.

Returning to college at the University of Rhode Island, Kevin managed the computer networks for the Department of Housing and Residential Life while continuing his degree in Management Information Systems.  From there, Kevin joined Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), the third largest provider of IT consulting services in the world. 

For CSC, Kevin was stationed at the Electric Boat facility at Quonset Point and charged with streamlining the massive and outdated network operations. Kevin ticked off the long-overdue, special-projects list and redesigned the networks to maximize efficiency at the multi-acre campus.  He earned his associate-level certifications while working at Quonset, and later earned his professional level certifications in Networking & Design from Cisco Systems.

A native of Warwick, RI Kevin has always had a knack for leadership. Under his direction as president, his URI college fraternity Phi Kappa Psi earned recognition for philanthropy and academics.

While not at the helm of SNS, Kevin enjoys spending time with family and friends at the Low family cottage at Roy Carpenters Beach, Matunuck, RI.  He may also be found deep in home renovations working on his 100+ year old Victorian residence in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, where his hands-on approach reflects the same commitment to excellence seen in his business philosophy.

He and his wife Angela live with their son Andrew and daughter Abigail, as well as two cats - Wain and kitty.
