Kyle has played Trumpet & Cornet for most of his life. He holds both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Music Education. Over the years, Kyle has studied with a number of teachers, including Fred Mills, Edward Sandor, John Merriman, and Larry Black.

During his college years, Kyle performed with a wide variety of ensembles, including playing lead trumpet with both the Jacksonville State University Jazz ensemble and the University of Georgia Jazz band, performing as a trumpet soloist with the JSU Marching Southerners, a soprano soloist with the Spirit of Atlanta Drum & Bugle Corps, and as principal trumpet of Wind Ensembles at both JSU and UGA.

After a brief career as a band director and 2 years of additional post-graduate work in music, Kyle moved into the technology field, where he has worked for over 20 years and is now running his own software development company.
