Kevin Bash

After growing up on the back of a horse and hoping for a career in baseball, Kevin Bash received his Masters Degree in Acting from the respected actor training program at UC San Diego in 1980. Following his graduation, he appeared in dozens of theatre productions across the United States and as far away as Australia before settling in Los Angeles in 1983. Kevin was an inaugural acting member of the Los Angeles Theatre Center in 1986 and later founder of the award winning Theatre of Gravity. Along the way, he appeared in well over 100 commercials and not a few television guest spots. Aikido has been a passion for almost thirty years and has been the chief instructor at UC Riverside since 1998. Together with his wife, Kevin started a successful documentary and educational film company in 1999. Kevin in 2006 began a campaign to save the once magnificent Norconian Resort and produced several events and documentaries to bring attention to this National Historic Landmark. In 2007, his wife and Kevin collaborated on a book detailing the history of this endangered historical resource. A relentless campaigner for various candidates and environmental causes, Kevin has been awarded multiple honors and served on several community commissions and task force committees.
