Our February Member Spotlight shines on Kevin Kim, Partner at Geraci LLP.

If you think Kevin Kim looks familiar, he probably is… because he is everywhere! You may know him from various AAPL webinars that he hosts, or it could be from his podcast, “Lender Lounge with Kevin Kim“, or maybe you’ve worked with the partners at Geraci LLP. Kim is a successful attorney and leads Geraci LLP’s corporate & securities practice. When he’s not working or podcasting, he could be doing anything from baking sourdough, cooking for his 2 daughters Abigail and Audrey, or kicking back with a bourbon. Kim even broke the family tradition of working in a bank, but we think it’s worked out for the best!

How long have you been an AAPL member?

9 years

What AAPL benefit do you MOST value?

The annual conference is the BEST conference in private lending. I consider it the event of the year for private lending.

Beyond that, the webinars are fantastic for the members because it brings education beyond best practices but industry knowledge, business leadership, and market insights.

Why did you become a member?

I joined because I joined Geraci! You can’t work at Geraci and not be involved with AAPL somehow. As I rose into partnership and leadership at Geraci, I became more involved with AAPL’s committees, classes and conference and I found myself quickly becoming entrenched in the private lending industry.

What is your favorite AAPL memory?

Working with Linda to film the Certified Fund Manager Course for digital conversion at their studios in Georgia.

Why did you decide to enter the private lending profession?

I was originally a loan officer at a bank. It runs in the family. I’m was the 3rd generation in my family to work in a bank. But I quickly realized there wasn’t much of a future in banking. So, like most college grads with a liberal arts degree, I went to law school. And here we are today!

What are some accomplishments you are particularly proud of?

The #1 thing is the birth of my two daughters Abigail and Audrey. They are the BEST. Career wise, becoming a partner here at Geraci was a proud achievement.

What is your favorite book, and why?

My First Book of Planets. It was my oldest daughter’s favorite book and she memorized the planets after reading it 1941845x with me. (At least I like to think so).
