Hailing from upstate New York, As a child, Captain Kyle's family would vacation in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and this is where his love for saltwater fishing flourished. He was eager to learn different fishing techniques and tips from wherever and whoever possible. From shore fishing for croaker and blue fish to offshore fishing for mahimahi and tuna and everything in-between. Moving to the Florida Keys allowed him to focus on learning new ways to target and catch a variety of different fish species.
Moving to the Florida Keys in 2000 intensified Kyle's focus on mastering various fishing methods. After years of helping friends fish commercially and working as a mate, Kyle joined Captain Chris Mendola's Far Out team full-time in 2018. Apart from fishing, Kyle's fondness for the Keys' warm waters drives him to dive for lobster. Free diving is his preferred pastime, exploring coral heads and grass ledges for those tasty crustaceans.
