Get to Know Kyle:
What do you enjoy doing in your free time? Family stuff with my wife Kathryn, my parents, siblings, and grown kids (including one new grandchild!) Our favorite activities are boating, going out to restaurants, Gopher football and basketball, and long weekend trips.
What are three things on your bucket list? My wife Kathryn and I are working on traveling the entire perimeter of the continental United States (segment by segment not all at once.) I thought it was a crazy idea at first, but it has been really fun! We are also halfway to visiting all the Major League Baseball parks. Last of all, we want to reach all seven continents. We brought our kids and their significant others to Asia in 2019. They are lobbying hard for Antarctica next!
What is one food you could never give up? There are many foods I like, but a few basics I couldn't give up: BBQ ribs, spaghetti & Italian sausage, Chicago style deep dish pizza, and the family recipe chocolate cake my daughter makes for me.
