Kyle grew up riding and competing on horses in the hunter/jumper class. Working with and training horses taught him the power of reciprocity and mutual respect. Horses are extraordinary teachers. From them he learned the importance of being authentic, how to be present, learning to let go, clearly communicating what you mean, and being part of a tribe. Kyle continues to pursue his love and passion for horses and hopes that Mindful Warrior will include horses in our performance coaching process one day. We hold this dream alongside him!

He lives in the greater Boston, Massachusetts area and is a beloved and doting father to Maggie, a mini schnauzer and Beaumont, a bluetick coonhound.
