Kevin Alfred Strom (born 1956 in Anchorage, Alaska) is the former Managing Director of National Vanguard, a Charlottesville-based organization that has been described as racist, white separatist, homophobic, and a Neo-Nazi hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League.[1][2] Strom resigned from National Vanguard in July 2006.[3] National Vanguard reportedly disbanded on March 14, 2007, and its website has been dormant since that time. In 2008 Strom pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography and was sentenced to 23 months in prison.[4]
Kevin Alfred Strom was born in Anchorage, Alaska in 1956. It has been stated that Strom scored a perfect 1600 on the SAT college-entrance exam, though the date in which he attained that feat is dubious; he has never attended a university and also has no college degree.[5] Strom claims to have attended George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia without taking a degree.[6]
Strom's marriage to his first wife, Kirsten Helene Kaiser, produced three children.[5] Since their marriage ended, Kaiser has spoken out about her life with Strom in several interviews.[5][7] She has also written a book on her experiences with Strom and the National Alliance entitled The Bondage of Self (ISBN 0-9720705-5-9). Kaiser claimed that Strom was an extremely controlling husband who forced her to abstain from meat, forbade her to wear blue jeans, and predetermined her favorite music, Mozart.[7] She has since disavowed the racist beliefs she held while in her two marriages with second husband Joseph McLaughlin and third with Strom.[7] She has summarized their years together: "Hundreds of women like me have gotten hooked up with some man from a racist group who controls their lives. I want them to know that if I can escape and regain my soul; they can, too."[5]
