After reading a book about barefoot running, Kevin A Knight began barefoot running as a way to reduce pain in his hip and back. Not only did the pain go away, but he gained wonderful insights while he ran. In Connections in the Raw, Kevin chronicles stories and insights from years of barefoot running. Kevin shares his perspective that deep connections exist in our lives between us and the Creator, other people, and with nature, and that we all have access to wisdom that is rewarded to all who will listen.

Knight hopes readers will come away with a new understanding of the wonders of creation and be inspired to listen for what it might tell them. He also hopes it encourages readers to get out and run - with or without shoes on.

He is passionate about education reform, specifically in underserved communities. He has sat on the boards of various schools and spends most Friday mornings reading to third- and fourth-graders at a school near his home in Norwalk, Connecticut.

He has been a vegetarian for over three decades and loves running (of course), reading, martial arts, sports, and the theater. He is active in his church and facilitates a Bible study group and teaches Sunday school.

Kevin is married to his wonderful, giving wife who is a marriage and family therapist, and they have three adult children, who occasionally go for a run with him—wearing shoes.
