Husband is the resident Marth of Team Ben, the premier crew in Maryland. He has been competing steadily since January 2004, enjoying the most success with his team, The Newlyweds.
Husband has played Marth exclusively since SSBM was released. His first tournament was Game Over in 2004, where he entered teams but not singles. He immediately picked up the game as a serious commitment, and began improving right away.
Husband has been to more Major League Gaming tournaments than any other person, including tournament directors. He enjoys travelling long distances to tournaments, driving upwards of a dozen hours at a time, using his patented left-food driving technique.
Husband is probably most famous for being a "Peach-slayer." He boasts that no Peach, under any circumstance, will ever pose a threat to him. This is due to his character naturally countering Peach, as well as an absurd amount of practice against Wife's Peach. The only Peach to ever beat him in tournament is Vidjo, who has since given up the effort, resorting to secondaries. Husband has also four stocked nearly every player to ever pick up Samus.
Kevin is currently at the University of Maryland, where he is studying business and enjoys lifting weights.
In 2010, Husband attended Pound 4 to commentate alongside his long time doubles partner, and real life friend, Wife.
