One Hit Wonder is a remarkable memoir that delivers life lessons with page-turning humor and irreverence.

Kevin R. Kehoe calls himself “an average guy,” but his life refuses to stay average. In thirty-seven true stories—sharp, funny, and unexpectedly tender—he traces the long road from Queens to boardrooms, from hard-earned wins to humbling losses, and from everyday missteps to moments that change everything.
Along the way, Kehoe builds a career on relationships and relentless drive—eventually helping launch what he calls an industry-leading software company—while learning firsthand how quickly triumph can turn, and how much character gets revealed when it does.
Then cancer arrives. Diagnosed with stage 4, he discovers the brutal overlap between business life and personal life—and the kind of courage that isn’t motivational-poster clean.
One Hit Wonder is a memoir about showing up, telling the truth, choosing your people wisely, and earning your “hit” the hard way—one decision, one story, one day at a time.

The grandson of Irish immigrants, Kevin Kehoe was born in New York City into a Catholic family. He considered entering the seminary, but then re-considered that idea given the realities of that lifestyle. He’s a graduate of SUNY Stony Brook, Southern Methodist University, and the Thunderbird School of Global Management at ASU. After years working in business consulting, he successfully founded and sold a software company. Today he lives in Arizona with his wife, Lorraine. They have one daughter who lives in St. Louis. Kevin likes coffee in the morning and tequila in the evening.
