About Kelvin H. Chin

Kelvin H. Chin is Executive Director of the Overcoming the Fear of Death Foundation. He focuses on helping people improve the quality of their lives now by overcoming their fear of death, and by developing a more balanced, productive and enjoyable life, mentally-physically-emotionally, by Turning Within through meditation.

Working with audiences on death and dying issues since the 1980s, Kelvin has taught numerous CLE and CEU seminars for the legal and healthcare industries, and was a state-certified Long Term Care Ombudsman for the California Department of Aging.

Kelvin founded this nonprofit charitable foundation to further dedicate his efforts to helping people improve their quality of life through an approach that is based in understanding death more clearly and aligning that understanding more accurately with each of our respective belief systems, whatever they may be. By doing so, each person reduces or eliminates their fear of death and frees up otherwise wasted energy that can be refocused to better use in one’s daily life.

Bringing greater clarity to his client's thinking in their personal and business life is something Kelvin has applied throughout his work for 40 years, including teaching meditation worldwide to more than 1,000 people since the 1970s in schools, businesses, the US Army and at West Point. Kelvin also formerly held CMO roles at AmLaw100 law firms, and was a VP for the American Arbitration Association. 

Kelvin has lived and worked in 6 countries and 27 cities, and has lectured in 30 of the 50 states. He has delivered more than 2,000 presentations worldwide. While at Dartmouth College, he studied at the Université de Strasbourg, France. In addition to Dartmouth, he has degrees from Yale Graduate School and Boston College Law School. He has two artistically talented children whose waters run deep and who express themselves in ways that both touch and entertain others.
