bio

Growing up in California, Kyle spent most of his time in the pool on the local swim team. During the long tedious workouts, swimming back and forth, he had big dreams of becoming an archaeologist... or a mortician, but after realizing archaeology was NOT like Indiana Jones, and that life as a mortician would not be an episode of Six Feet Under, he decided to go into film making.

portraitSo off he ran to New York University, where he studied Film and Television production at Tisch School of the Arts. It was here he learned how much he appreciated California winters and, after being on swim team all four years, how much he missed outdoor swimming pools.

He was given an internship on Davey and Goliath's Snowboarding Christmas which inspired him to become an animator and sparked his love of stop motion. After that, he began his focus on animation with the guiding hand of Academy Award winning professor, John Canemaker, where he spent 3 years hunched over a lightbox and locked in a small, dark stop motion set.

Kyle then moved out into the world where he has animated on the preschool television shows, "The Wonder Pets," "3rd & Bird," "Small Potatoes," "Sing It Laurie!" and "Team Umizoomi" for the past 7 years, as well as working on the pilot episodes for "Peg + Cat," "The Jo B. & G. Raff Show," and a Domo special.

He has also been given the opportunity to direct episodes of "The Wonder Pets" and "Sing It Laurie!"

Kyle is still located in New York City, is still cold, and has begrudingly taken up running. He is currently working as a freelance animator.
