While attending DePaul University College of Law, Kyle worked as an examiner at the United States Patent and Trademark Office in the Business Methods art unit. His experience spans automotive and sheet-metal design, manufacturing, architecture, construction and project management, and software.

Kyle volunteers with Chicagoland Exotic Animal Rescue, fostering reptiles and exotic birds while they await adoptive families. He also builds enclosures for donation and contributes his time to the organization's work.

Previously, he volunteered with Kansas City's Lead to Read program, helping children in first through third grade with reading, and with Heartland Therapeutic Riding, which provided rehabilitation and physical therapy for people with disabilities.
