Noodles is part of a large family and grew up near Los Angeles. He is the oldest member of the band. Kevin stopped his studies quite young and during the band's early days he worked as an elementary school janitor in the same school Dexter and Greg went to. School custodian Noodles joined the band, allegedly for his ability to legally procure alcohol for the underage trio. He didn't actually know playing guitar.

Now, it's quite different, he has his own collection of guitars (nearly 80), he released with Ibanez two models, bearing his signature, called NDM1 and NDM2.

His favourite offspring album is Ignition and he was awarded as the worst dressed on stage celebrity by the french magazine "Rock Sound".

He's married to Jackie Patrice since 02/14/1998 and he's the father of a girl named Chelsea Nicole who was born in 1990. He has her letters (C.N.) tattooed on his right shoulder.

Aside from playing guitar, he loves fishing, snowboarding, skating and surfing. Actually, he's the only member of the band practicing extreme sports. He also loves streetluge.
