About

G’pa Dave and I at the first-ever Opening Day at Target Field in Minneapolis, April 2010. One of my favorite pictures!

Hi. I’m Kyle. By birth, I’m a Golden Gopher. I begged for Halloween candy during The Blizzard of ’91.

By education, I’m a Tiger. I cut my teeth at KOMU-TV and KBIA-FM — you name it, I probably did it.

By trade, I’m an education reporter, and have been since 2011. I used to work in Bloomington, Ind. I helped launch an education blog for NPR and the local public radio station there. Then in 2014, I moved to Seattle to cover the schools for another NPR station, KPLU.

This blog is part resumé, part personal and professional brain drain. I wouldn’t say anything here I wouldn’t say on Twitter or on air, given the opportunity.

Some essential facts: I’m a journalist, I’m a Minnesota native, I’m a Twins fan, I’m a lover of film, a runner, a hiker, a believer in Associated Press state abbreviations and a recovering political junkie who occasionally relapses.
