With his love for teaching children and his desire to return to the water, he swam back to us in September 2022 as a Manager at our Lewis Center location. He is thrilled to be back in this capacity and excited to provide a GOLDEN experience to swimmers and their families while helping them learn to be safe in and around the water. Kyle married his high school sweetheart, Faith, and they have two sons, Gideon and Levi. They love to get outdoors to camp and hike as much as possible. They also have an unhealthy obsession with musical theatre and love visiting NYC to see Broadway shows!
