Kevin Price (born December 18, 1961) is a radio host in Houston, Texas. Born in Detroit, Michigan, he grew up in the small suburb of Ferndale, Michigan until the age of 13 when he and his family left for the state for Texas. This was due to the continued decline of the Detroit economy and because others in his family had moved to Texas. Kevin lived in the small town of Abilene and attended public schools there. Later he went on to attend Abilene Christian University where he graduated with a B.A degree with an emphasis in economic history. He went on to Washington, DC where he worked in public policy and political consulting and eventually found himself back in Texas.
Price hosts the Price of Business Show on CBS 650, is an author of several books, including Empowerment to the People, which was published by the Free Congress Foundation, a prominent conservative public policy institution. He is the publisher of the Houston Business Review and has a blog called Business Plus. That blog, like his radio show, tends to have a Conservative/Libertarian bent. He tends to differ with Libertarians on cultural and social issues. In addition, Mr. Price is a Principal of HoustonBusiness.com and the President of the Houston Business Media Group.
In August 2011 The Price of Business moved to Bloomberg and Salem affiliated 1070 AM KNTH in Houston in the evenings after 10 years of being affiliated with CBS. In addition, Price launched a national news site called US Daily Review. It has, among its "values," the providing of an "outside the beltway" perspective on national stories and is eclectic in its topics with sections covering political news, lifestyle, technology, sports, and all. It is expected that the site will have a conservative/libertarian leaning like its founder, but Price insists that its first goal will be to provide excellent content.

Famous quotes containing the words kevin and/or price:
“Well, on the official record you’re my son. But on this post you’re just another trooper. You heard me tell the recruits what I need from them. Twice that I will expect from you.... You’ve chosen my way of life. I hope you have the guts enough to endure it. But put outa your mind any romantic ideas that it’s a way to glory. It’s a life of suffering and of hardship and uncompromising devotion to your oath and your duty.”
—James Kevin McGuinness, and John Ford. Lt. Col. Kirby Yorke (John Wayne)
“No performance is worth loss of geniality. ‘Tis a cruel price we pay for certain fancy goods called fine arts and philosophy.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
