Kyle, born and raised in Cooperstown, NY, has been a die-hard fisherman his entire life. He started out fishing local waters from a canoe before upgrading to his first bass boat and competing across Upstate New York. With dreams of making it to the Bassmaster Elite Series, Kyle pushed himself to take every opportunity to grow in the sport.
He earned a soccer scholarship to Hobart College on Seneca Lake, but his passion for fishing never wavered. Even while playing soccer, he was learning about the business side of the fishing industry, knowing that it would play a big role in his future. After college, Kyle jumped into the Bassmaster Opens while working remotely in medical equipment sales.
Two years later, his dedication paid off when he qualified for the Bassmaster Elite Series. In his rookie season, Kyle notched three top-10 finishes, earned a Century Belt, and finished in the top 20 of the AOY standings.
