Kevin Hernandez
Kevin Hernandez is one of our Most Eligible
bachelors of the Central Valley. He is a speech language
pathologist by day and an entrepreneur by night. Here
is a little background on this hottie…He is a long time
Stocktonian. He attended Saint Mary’s High school and
upon graduation transferred to Chico State University
where he completed his undergrad.
Then Kevin chose to do some traveling and
came to the decision that he wanted to pursue grad
school. He got accepted at University of the Pacific. It
was there that he earned his Masters M.S. in Speech
Pathology. When he received his Masters degree, he
did some more traveling and he even dabbled in real
estate. He also got hired on at Stockton Unified as a
Speech Pathologist.
However, business runs in his veins and he
knew it was something that he could not ignore. One
of his long term goals was to open up a lounge in his
hometown that would provide an upscale, trendy, and
relaxed atmosphere. So, he set out to do it.
A number of years ago, he turned his goal into
a reality and opened the AVE on the Mile. It has been
wildly successful, serving full Sunday brunches and
boasting a complete menu throughout the week. In
the evenings the AVE turns into a venue for Stockton’s
premiere nightlife serving up some amazing cocktails
and providing live music with some of the best DJs
around the valley.
Kevin is extremely involved in his community. He is
always looking for ways to help improve it. He is a fan
of Las Vegas, having taken many trips there and to a
family favorite-Lake Tahoe. His favorite sport teams are
the Golden State Warriors and San Francisco Giants.
