Kyle received his BS in Environmental Science from the UI in 2006, while studying wild bee community dynamics in fragmented landscapes under Dr. Stephen Hendrix. At the University of Michigan's School of Natural Resources & Environment, he obtained a MS in Environmental Informatics in 2009 and wrote a thesis on the incorporation of sample design uncertainty into species-habitat models while studying under Dr. Daniel Brown.

Today, Kyle is Data Manager and Technical Lead at the University of Michigan Survey Research Center. His work at the Survey Research Center (SRC) involves aspects of project management, technical systems development and data management in support of collecting survey data. As a data manager at the SRC, he monitors the delivery of data products to clients and develops processes to combine data from 11 different surveys into a single dataset. His role as a technical lead at SRC involves defining and guiding the development of the hardware and software used to collect data via scientific sample surveys (i.e., interviews). His responsibilities also include data analysis with an emphasis on gauging interviewer behavior and tendencies.
