Meet Evel Knievel’s Second Wife

Krystal Kennedy-Knievel was previously married to Evel Knievel. She is known for Shang (2013), Method Acting (2010), and Pot Cookie (2016). Krystal is the BACB Verified Course Sequence coordinator for the applied behavior analysis master and has an Exceptional Learning Ph.D. concentration.

Krystal research interests include school bus behavior management practices, positive behavior supports, and classroom behavior analytic applications. She holds active memberships with the Association for Behavior Analysis International, Council for Exceptional Children, and Tennessee Association for Behavior Analysis.

Currently, Kennedy teaches courses in applied behavior analysis and special education. Krystal husband Knievel was successful as an insurance salesman and wanted recognition for his efforts. When the company refused to promote him to vice president after he had been a few months on the job, he quit.

Wanting a new start away from Butte, Knievel moved his family to Moses Lake, Washington. There, he opened a Honda motorcycle dealership and promoted motocross racing. During the early 1960s, he and other dealers had difficulty promoting and selling Japanese imports because of the steep competition in their auto industry, and the Moses Lake Honda dealership eventually closed.
