I'm Kyle, writer and associate editor for both The DONUT and Press Sports. I studied computer engineering at the University of Michigan – Go Blue! – and had a brief career as a live poker pro before joining The DONUT back in 2019. Outside of work, you can typically find me enjoying the outdoors with my dogs, curled up with a Brandon Sanderson novel, rooting on UofM/Detroit sports teams, or binging Psych episodes.
