After graduating from UNK with a degree in Industrial Distribution, Kyle took a position with Green Line Equipment in Grand Island, Nebraska, as a Precision Farming Consultant. He has since moved to Saint Paul into a sales position at Green Line Equipment. He is married and I believe he has at least one kid.
