Kyle is the current Operations Director for Five07 Coffee Bar in Thousand Oaks. Before coming to Five07, he spent nearly 20 years with the Acorn Newspapers, including the last 13 as editor of the Thousand Oaks Acorn, where he oversaw a staff that won several awards for its coverage of local government, breaking news, public interest journalism, and sports. In 2023, he spearheaded a grassroots effort to bring back the Turkey Day Dash, a long-running Conejo Valley tradition. The Thanksgiving Day run/walk attracted 2,000 participants and raised over $56,000 for three local charities. Kyle makes his home in Thousand Oaks with wife, Jenny, and daughter, Kylie. He loves hiking in local open spaces with his two dogs, Bella and Lewis, and rooting on his beleaguered Chicago Bears.
