Kyle was raised in the urban environment of Orlando, Florida. Despite not having much surrounding green space he always had a keen eye for finding wild things. His interests in wildlife led him to pursue a B.S. in wildlife ecology and conservation from the University of Florida which changed his world forever. Since graduating he has worked for many federal, state, and non-profit organizations from Florida to Guyana, to Alaska and Montana. Kyle currently resides in Bozeman, Montana where he spends much of his free time giving back to the community through conservation efforts. As a board member of the Sacajawea Audubon Society he helps guide free birding trips and lends a hand on various ongoing conservation projects.
