Kyle started riding BMX bicycles at the age of 5 and competed all over the western USA. At 14 he transitioned into motocross and at 17 was a highly successful sponsored professional. At the age of 19 he went to a local track to practice and landed badly on a 100 foot jump resulting in a L 1-2 incomplete spinal cord injury. After multiple surgeries followed by extensive rehabilitation he learned to live life in a wheelchair where what were once the simplest of tasks had to be relearned or adapted. Kyle knows that his days racing professionally are over but he transferred that energy into pursuing a bachelor’s degree in nursing where he hopes to work in a neurological unit helping those with similar injuries and challenges. He has been successful as a motivational speaker and has volunteered to work with recently injured patients who have suffered similar injuries. Kyle is thrilled to be a part of the Swim With Mike Family. Kyle completed the B.S.N. program in Summer 2020.
