Kyle started his interest in sport at an early age, commencing with judo and swimming and culminating with state level status in both sports whilst in primary school. Kyle gave up sugar and sugar based products like lollies and soft drinks at the age of 12 per advice of a doctor in Chinese Medicine. This is a practice he continues to this day.
Whilst at high school Kyle rowed for the Wesley First Eight where he was appointed Captain of Boats. He also maintained an interest in swimming and water polo and outdoor sports like skiing (snow and water) and cycling (road and downhill mountain biking) as well as participating in triathlons.
Working as a chef gave Kyle a lifelong interest in food and sports nutrition. Kyle has been a gym enthusiast for the last seven years and has been the inspiration for many of his friends and co-rowers, resulting in many of them continuing on to the Personal Training industry.
