Storyline Fall 2018

Hi, my name is ... Kyle
Where were you born? Where have you Lived?
I was born in Vernon, B.C. where I lived until Grade 5.
My family moved to the “Bible Belt” state of Kentucky
and lived in a small college town for a year (where I
thoroughly enjoyed my one and only year of Hockey
superstardom – thank you, southern states!). The
summer before Grade 7 we moved to Calgary where I
lived all the way through to my graduation at Ambrose
– with the exception of my one-year pastoral internship in Cobourg, Ontario. Two weeks after I finished
my studies at Ambrose University I moved back to Vernon to serve at Vernon Alliance Church where I was
serving up until this summer when we moved here to join the FAC family.
Tell us about your family.
My wife’s name is Chelsey. Though she was born in Portland, she moved to Calgary before her first birthday
– so she’s a Calgarian through and through. She’s a nurse with a particular passion for mental health. We
have a daughter named Charlotte Rae. She’s 14 months old and brings more into our lives than we ever
could have imagined!
Favourite food? Drink?
Food is pizza – and there is no close second! Any type, anywhere, anytime! Drink: Coffee
– there are two contenders close behind, those being grapefruit juice and sparkling water!
What song has the most plays on your playlist?
I’m sure it would be a John Mayer song!
Best vacation memory? Travel memory?
Best vacation memory would be exploring Bali one New Years with my family … seeing the rice terraces,
snorkelling remote islands, and seeing the beauty of Indonesia! Best travel memory would be when Chelsey
and I, shortly after getting married, had the opportunity to do some ministry work in Nepal and conclude
the trip with hiking in the Himalayas!
Favourite thing to do in your free time?
Basically any active opportunity I enjoy … I love volleyball (beach or indoor), golf, cycling, and in the winter
it’s hockey and snowboarding particularly. Beyond playing sports we love to watch them (though Chelsey
and I rarely seem to cheer for the same team … It’s a constant tension!). I love travel, to read, and sign me
up for almost any kind of adventure you can find – my camp name is not Adrenaline by accident!
Two most important things?
The first thought that popped into my head was my Bible … Immediately after that was my family … I guess
that’s a pretty good order for things! Two more common items? My guitar is particularly meaningful to me
and our laptop – not because I’m particularly keen on the machine but because it holds all of our wedding,
travel, and family pictures!
Favourite Bible verse and why?
Jeremiah 29:11-14 – I was a in a severe car accident when I was 17 … While I was being rushed to the
hospital the paramedic couldn’t really believe I was alive and though he was an unbeliever he came pretty
close to quoting that portion of Scripture to me – it become sweet to me through that experience.
