Kevin McAleenan was born in 1971 to an immigrant mother from Finland and a father who was a part of the Irish migration that took place in the Northeast. McAleenan received an undergraduate degree from Amherst College.

McAleenan practiced law in the private sector from 1998 until 2001, when terrorist attacks that September motivated him to apply to work for FBI.
