Kevin Pittman has been a resident of St. Lawrence for nearly 30 years. In 1983 while on holidays in Labrador City, he was persuaded by his brother-in-law, Bill Tobin to referee his first game. This match was between the Lab City Laurentians and a team called the All-Backs.

When Kev returned to St. Lawrence from Labrador he was convinced by the St. Lawrence Soccer Association to take the Class 3 referees course.

After 8 years of practising and perfecting his trade, in 1991 he was nominated by the Newfoundland Soccer Association as a National Referee. IN 1992, he was appointed as a National Referee by the Canadian Soccer Association and continued to retain his status until he reached the mandatory national retirement age in 1999.
