Mayor Kevin McCann is a dedicated community leader and long-time Florida resident whose journey from Delaware to Winter Springs has been defined by service, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to improving the lives of others. While studying sociology and social work at university, Kevin met his wife, Katherine. Together, they have built a rich family life. They are proud parents to their daughter, Jordan, and their son, Bently, who is currently serving in the U.S. military.
He began his professional career as a social worker in Delaware, contributing to a federal research project that studied drug and crime correlations in Philadelphia’s most challenged neighborhoods. This early work laid the foundation for a career centered on community service and a deep understanding of social challenges. After a period of travel, Kevin and his family eventually settled in Naples, Florida, marking the beginning of his long-standing connection with the Sunshine State.
Transitioning into the hospitality industry, he built a reputation as a dynamic leader, serving as a hotel and restaurant general manager, operating partner, and sales professional. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to become a partner in three different restaurant ventures, with one project bringing his family to Winter Springs in 2004.
Prior to serving as Mayor, Kevin demonstrated his commitment to community improvement through leadership roles on various local boards, committees, and volunteer organizations. He served as President of the Tuscawilla Homeowners Association and Vice Chairman of the Winter Springs Planning & Zoning Board among other volunteer work. More recently, as Mayor, he has extended that commitment by serving on the Board of Directors for the Oviedo-Winter Springs Chamber of Commerce; Board of Directors for Leadership Seminole; and as a member of the Municipal Advisory Committee of MetroPlan—the regional transportation planning agency. He is also active with the Florida League of Mayors and the Florida League of Cities and has served as Chairman of the Mayors and Managers of Seminole County. Throughout his career, Kevin has consistently supported veterans’ causes, holding a lifetime membership at the VFW.
Outside of his professional and civic duties, Mayor McCann enjoys spending quality time with his family. An avid sailor, he finds inspiration and balance on the water—a passion that reflects his adventurous spirit and deep connection to the community he serves.
Mayor McCann’s varied experience and heartfelt dedication continue to drive his vision for a thriving, inclusive, and resilient Winter Springs—a community where every resident finds the opportunity to flourish and contribute to our shared future.
