Kevin Nanney (born September 25, 1990), is an American professional Super Smash Bros. Melee player who plays for Evil Geniuses. He is known as the two-time champion of Apex and considered one of the dominant "Five Gods" of Melee, the others being Jason "Mew2King" Zimmerman, Joseph "Mango" Marquez, Adam "Armada" Lindgren and Juan "Hungrybox" Debiedma.

PPMD garnered attention in 2009 after placing higher than Mango at Revival of Melee 2 and finishing runner up to Hungrybox. Nanney won the tournament's next incarnation in 2010. He placed 5th at Apex 2012 after losing to eventual 4th place Javier "Javi" Ruiz. Next year at Apex 2013 he placed 2nd after losing to Armada in the Grand Finals. On July 16 Nanney became sponsored by Twitch streaming channel VGBootCamp.

In 2014, Nanney won Apex 2014, the second largest tournament at the time. In June Dr. Pee Pee won SKTAR 3 beating Mew2King in the finals and automatically qualifying for MLG Anaheim 2014. He finished 4th at MLG Anaheim despite being the favorite to win. Nanney was invited to the Nintendo organized Super Smash Bros. Invitational at the E3 2014 to play Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, pre-release, and received the Fan-Favorite Award.

In May 2014 he left VGBootCamp and became a member of Evil Geniuses as their first Super Smash Bros. player. In 2015 PPMD became a repeat Apex champion when he beat Armada after Armada forced a bracket reset. He placed third at EVO 2015, only his second singles tournament of the year. He was sent to losers in a rematch with Armada and then eliminated by Hungrybox in loser's finals. He placed 5th at Smash Summit on November 5–8, 2015. On January 15-17th, 2016 he got 6th at GENESIS 3.
