Kevin and Stacey Kotler have been married for almost 8 years. They currently live in the Flatiron area in Manhattan, and have two amazing little girls – Zoe is 6 and Liv is 4. Both girls attended the Chabad School Preschool of the Arts until 2015, and just completed their first year at Heschel, continuing their Jewish education. Kevin graduated from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and now runs a Healthcare-focused investment fund that is in its 11th year of operation. Stacey moved to New York to join Morgan Stanley after graduating from McGill University, and started her own business in the Beauty Industry in 2009.

Kevin and Stacey feel that it is important to demonstrate to their daughters and to their community that they are dedicated to Judaism by attending prayer services and giving tzedakah. The couple adheres to the beliefs of Chabad which transcend human nature, and Chabad’s strong focus on the family unit and education is very important to them. Given this core value system, it is no surprise that Kevin was honored by the Young Jewish Entrepreneur’s organization as Hedge Fund of the Year in 2011, in 2014 both Kevin and Stacey were honored at the Chabad Center for Jewish Discovery’s Preschool of the Arts Gala as Parents of the Year, and that they are the founders and sponsors of the new Chabad Children's Center and the West Village Preschool of the Arts which is scheduled to open in 2017. This year, they are extremely proud to have been chosen as Southampton Chabad’s 15th Annual Dinner Honorees.
