Eternal Victory Leadership

The team leading the mission

Founder, Coach, Top Advisor

Kevin Alexander

One word that would describe Kevin's life is commitment. Commitment to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Commitment to his family. Commitment to his country.

Since 1998, Kevin has taken a common-sense approach to retirement income planning. Putting everything out there, in an easy-to-understand whiteboard approach, and letting clients choose what strategies they're comfortable with, while allowing the possibility of providing strategies they may not have thought about — ensuring they're ready for almost any circumstance in retirement. Kevin prides himself on knowing his clients and his clients knowing him. His mission, by the same token, is more than money — it's about God, family, and country. It's about Kingdom impact. It's about not just financial victory for his clients, but Eternal Victory.

Over the course of his career, Kevin has helped thousands of clients, placed more than $130 million of annuity premium, and turns 90% of prospects he meets with into clients.

Kevin has also used his practice as a platform for ministry, founding America Resurrected and now, Eternal Victory, to help other advisors benefit from his nearly three decades of experience.

Kevin is married to his high school sweetheart Bethany and they are proud parents to six children. He earned his Bachelor's degree from Emory and Henry College, where he was a 3-year basketball team captain and single-season and career assist leader, and earned his MBA from Radford University.
