Our mission at Course of Action is to help you overcome your past, present, and future by showing you how to live a healthier life. Although we will work with addicts, we have found over the years that we are more effective by working directly with people who find themselves in the wake of an addict.

Our Founder

Kevin Hyland and his wife Catherine currently live just outside of the city limits of San Antonio, Texas in the small country town of La Vernia with a population of less than 1200.  They have seven children, fifteen grandchildren, and a very spoiled Chihuahua they call Tater Tot.

After 20 years as a Project Manager with a large commercial construction company, Kevin retired about three years ago. His present life is a far cry from the darkness he was in for many years.  In the past Kevin was addicted to drugs and involved in crimes such as robbery, drug dealing, and theft.  At times he was either homeless or in prison. 

Kevin learned many life lessons along the way and eventually kicked the drug habit and went on to lead a very successful life.  He has worked on many community outreach programs and has been involved in many non-profit efforts to include raising awareness of the homeless through The Mercy Coalition, raising money, food, and supplies for disaster-stricken areas such as Moore, Oklahoma after a massive tornado in 2013 and Rockport, Texas after Hurricane Harvey in 2017. 

Kevin has a heart to help those who find themselves traveling the path he himself spent many years on whether they are a drug addict, anyone with any other type of addiction, a person recently paroled and fighting the parole or probation scenario, or a person who is facing time in prison.  Kevin has been a volunteer with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) and Prison Fellowship since 2010 teaching on a weekly basis within the prisons in South Texas.  Through Prison Fellowship and The Urban Ministry Institute (TUMI) Kevin and his wife also facilitated a three-year course at the Briscoe Unit in Dilley, Texas. 

At Course of Action Kevin has found an area that is overlooked so much of the time and that is those who are in the wake of an addict – for example, a loved one who is just causing destruction in your life due to their addiction or an employer who has an otherwise good employee except for their life-changing addiction. Kevin wants to talk with you. There are so many things as a loved one or a friend that we want to do to help, but oftentimes we cause more damage and end up allowing ourselves to be in a very unhealthy and even possibly dangerous relationship.

Kevin has a wealth of information and experience that he will share with you in a clear and usable way, information that will make your life better and that will change what you do in regard to an addict which may possibly save their life.

“Your actions and course today determine your destination tomorrow.”

If you are interested in having Kevin speak to your organization on his life and how he overcame addiction, homelessness, and incarceration please contact us. Kevin is also available to just come in and offer some education and good old common sense when it comes to relationships and/or addiction. He can also help if there is a hot topic you or your organization is facing.
