Name: Kevin Breer
Occupation: Lawyer
Hometown: Wichita, Kansas
Current neighborhood: Westwood
What I do (in 140 characters): I am a real-estate, construction and commercial trial attorney.
What’s your addiction? Spicy food
What’s your game? Right now, with a 3-year-old son, it is anything he wants to do. Usually a Yo Gabba Gabba game on the iPad. We also like throwing beanbags in the cornhole game, outside at Taco Republic.
What’s your drink? Free State Copperhead Pale Ale, preferably while at Free State in Lawrence.
Where’s dinner? Taco Republic for a casual dinner. Grünauer, if it is just Kelli and me (or with friends).
What’s on your KC postcard? Union Station (view from the WWI memorial)
Finish this sentence: “Kansas City got it right when … ” They built a lot of fountains.
“Kansas City screwed up when … “ They failed to build the baseball stadium downtown.
“Kansas City needs … “ More high-quality Indian restaurants.
“In five years, I’ll be … ” Over 50 years old. How the heck did that happen?
“I always laugh at … “ Anyone running into a glass door. Sorry, I can’t help it.
“I’ve been known to binge-watch … ” Arrested Development.
“I can’t stop listening to … “ Trampled by Turtles. Seriously, give them a try – a thousand times better than Mumford & Sons.
“I just read … ” My Facebook feed. I read all day long for work, so recreational reading has taken a huge hit.
The best advice I ever got: Enjoy your work.
Worst advice: Enjoy your work.
My sidekick: My wife, Kelli (and son, Keaton)
My dating triumph/tragedy: When I met my wife, Kelli, I immediately liked her. I asked her out on a second date and was surprised that she said yes. Some days, I still wonder what she sees in me. But her saying yes to a second date was the most important thing that ever happened to me.
My brush with fame: I have had a really well-known actress as a client. I was a young associate at the time, and I thought that having a famous client would happen all the time. It doesn’t.
My 140-character soapbox: I really think that this is the year the Royals are going to make the playoffs. I hope that it is. I would love to have my son grow up with a winning baseball team – like I did.
What was the last thing you had to apologize for? I had to cancel on happy hour with some good friends from high school to go to the Royals game.
Who’s sorry now? I am. The Royals lost.
My recent triumph: I opened up my own law firm after years of being at a larger firm. The Breer Law Firm LLC is located in Overland Park.
