Meet the Team

Kevin McCullough

Owner

Kevin, a Northern Virginia native and lifelong resident of the greater Washington DC area, attended Gonzaga College High School in Washington, D.C.  He then earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting from the University of Notre Dame, only to return home to start his career and complete his Masters in Business Administration from Virginia Tech. 

Kevin started his 20-year career with KPMG in Washington, DC as a financial statement auditor followed by various corporate finance and accounting leadership positions in both the automotive and hospitality industries. 

In February 2023, Kevin opened the Express office in Tysons Corner, VA with the goal of helping good people find good jobs and helping good clients find good people.  Kevin’s vision for the Express office in Tysons Corner is to become the most trusted staffing agency in the DMV.  Throughout his career, Kevin interviewed, hired, and managed many people and developed an appreciation for the fact that there are few things more costly to a company than making the “wrong hire”. 

In his free time, Kevin, along with his wife, Lindsey, can usually be found around a basketball court, football field, lacrosse field, or swimming pool for a practice, game or swim meet for one of their three children.
