Kevin Barni

Mr. Delaware Bear 2019 and North American Bear 2019, Kevin Barni, proudly advocates for the destruction of gender norms as well as expanding how we define who and what a Bear is. By day Kevin is an architectural historian specializing in historic cemetery preservation and is a dad to three amazing cats. He proves that a Bear can have it all in this modern world. Kevin works with various charities in the Mid-Atlantic, and raised over $1500 during his title year. In addition to charity work he spent visiting communities in the northeast, southeast, and mid-west; making new friends, judging contests, and proudly promoting the Delaware bear community. Kevin is a firm believer that no one should be afraid of the sound and power of their own voice, and it is the responsibly of those with privilege to speak loudly in resistance until every voice is heard.
