Kyle began climbing his sophomore year at the University of Arkansas and quickly found himself on the wall or thinking about the wall a little too much for someone in college. After graduating, he moved to pursue a post graduate degree in Kansas City, which is when he found RoKC. It only took one visit for him to be sufficiently reeled in, and shortly later he left his job to begin at the gym. After some time working the front desk, he transitioned over to coaching, and shortly thereafter accepted a position as the gym’s Youth Programs Director.

His favorite thing about working at RoKC is watching the kids get more comfortable and competent on the wall. But when not coaching kids, he’s most likely spending time with his wife, writing, or sitting at the library.
