Kevin B. DiBacco is a bestselling author, award-winning filmmaker, and former USAF Security Forces veteran whose life story is as bold and inspiring as the pages of his... books. With eight traditional publishing deals and numerous bestsellers recognized by Ingram Content Group, Kevin has earned a reputation for delivering books that empower, educate, and energize.

Over a 37-year filmmaking career, his work was featured at world-renowned festivals including Sundance and Cannes, and distributed globally through five international deals. But Kevin’s greatest battle came off-camera: a life-threatening brain surgery followed by a grueling three-year recovery. Rather than surrender, he embodied his “Life Warrior” mindset—rebuilding his health, shedding 60 pounds at age 62, and returning with renewed purpose.

Kevin’s journey is marked by extraordinary resilience. He has endured six knee surgeries, two major back operations, two hip replacements, radiation treatment, and the emotional weight of clinical depression. From these trials, he forged a message of hope, transformation, and unstoppable perseverance.

His literary career is equally remarkable. Kevin’s books span a wide range of subjects—from mental strength and physical fitness to environmental awareness and independent filmmaking. His breakout biography The Gabardine Gang set the tone for a writing career defined by bold truths and practical insights. HYSOMETRICS, Single Band Workout, and Powerlifting with Bands helped redefine at-home training, while Indie Filmmaking in the REAL WORLD gave aspiring filmmakers an honest look behind the scenes. Titles like The Lost Art of Logical Thinking and Hold the Power offer readers tools for self-mastery and mental clarity.

Perhaps most powerful is his book Depression: Understanding and Overcoming, born from his own personal battle with mental health. From that experience came the innovative ISO QUICK STRENGTH program—a system designed to build both physical resilience and inner strength.

Kevin’s guiding principles—“If you can see it, you can do it” and “Those who quit will always fail”—continue to inspire readers of all ages. His titles Being Weird: Unleash Your Inner Weirdo and The Handshake: Around the World reflect his commitment to individual empowerment and global unity.
