About Kyle
I’m a retired engineer, having spent most of my career in plastics. My wife works at a
company that makes nothing but candy - how sweet is that? I have two daughters:
the oldest graduated from Ohio University in Athens and works in Cleveland. She is
married and provided me with three beautiful granddaughters. My youngest
daughter graduated from the Ohio State University in Columbus, received her
Masters degree from the University of Northern Colorado in Colorado Springs, and,
for now, works in Colorado.
Here I am on Daytona Beach, Florida on my high school
senior trip. After high school, I graduated from the
University of Toledo with an Associates Degree in
Electrical Engineering, and after a few years of night
school, with one small child and one on the way,
graduated from Purdue University with my Bachelors
Degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology. The word
“technology” at the end meant I didn’t have to take as
much calculus as the regular MEs. I’m okay with that.
Education
I tricked this beauty into marrying me in 1991 and I
hope she doesn’t ever realize what a mistake she
made.
Love
Writing is my main hobby but I like to
exercise, shoot pistols, and I used to have a
motorcycle. It was a 2007 Triumph Sprint ST
ABS (shown here) that I liked to ride but sold
it several years ago to buy a Honda. Nope, a
Honda Accord. I still enjoy motorcycles and
hope to get another if/when the budget
allows.
Hobbies
Here I am at Deadeye Dick’s, a local axe
throwing entertainment facility. This picture is
just after hitting three bullseyes in a row the
first time we went there. I’m waiting for the big
leagues to call to sign me up but so far, nothing.
It really is fun but we haven’t had time to go
back.
Three Bullseyes in a Row
I’ve been fortunate enough to do some
traveling, although not so much lately.
Some locations were far away and
some were right around the corner but
all hold fond memories. Click on the
photo of the Arc de Triomphe to see a
few of my favorite travel photos.
