If you’re here expecting to read about my work in the past and my professional habits, you will absolutely be let down. This is about me. If you want to get to know me professionally, read my resumé and watch my reel. If you want to read about my terribly flawed life, enjoy.

My name’s Kyle and I like... whiskey. I feel that’s an appropriate introduction. It’ll probably explain the rest of my story. When I say I like whiskey, I mean scotch, bourbon, rye or the occasional Irish or other American whiskey, not Canadian. I mean seriously, the only thing that country can do right is healthcare. Even their monetary system is laughable. Loonies and Toonies? On top of having a currency named after a cartoon, it’s just foolish to have two-dollar coins. Call me old fashioned, but I think throwing a coin at a stripper is just outright disrespectful.

The second thing you should know about me: I rant. I could go on for weeks about my opinion of Canada and I’ve only been there a handful of times. But I wont. I’ll try and stick to the riveting topic at hand, myself.

I enjoy traveling. Whether it be the Las Vegas strip or the Rocky Mountains, I think a new scene, a new culture, a new world as far as I’m concerned, is worth visiting. I’ve seen the country from coast to coast. I’ve seen the sun set over the Rio Grande and drove through the night to see it rise over the Grand Canyon. I’ve been close enough to the Liberty Bell to touch it. And I did. In fact, I’d like to think that I am the only person in history to actually lick it. It tastes like freedom. I’ve slept in the middle of the Las Vegas strip. I’ve skied the highest lift accessible peak in the continent. And I’m just getting started. I have much more to see and have a very ambitious bucket list.

By now, I’m sure you’re thinking I’m a completely arrogant... Well, you fill in the blank. I recognize that I’m not exactly blue-ribbon material, unless you have the same standards of Pabst Brewing Company. However I like to consider myself to be a good person at heart. I was born in raised in suburban Maine. Aside from being annoyed by tourists in the summer, the people of Maine are some of the nicest and most selfless people I’ve ever met. I’m proud of my roots and as much as I act absurdly presumptuous, I’ll always be a “Mainiac” at heart.

After my youth in Maine, I moved to Boston and attended the New England Institute of Art. Don’t let the name fool you; it’s actually a very technically involved school. So much that it turned me into the geek I am today. That’s something I’ve grown to be very proud of. Why wouldn’t I? Geek is the new black. Most of my aforementioned rants are about technology. Whether it be a social network, a camera, a smartphone or a new video codec, I’ll have an opinion that most my geek friends will hear. Some will agree, some argue, but most just laugh at how emotionally involved I am with technology.

I am fortunate enough that I’ve found a medium to express myself and decided to make a livelihood out of it. I’ve found an avenue where art and technology meet to create amazing things. And my goal is simply that - to create amazing things.
