Bio:

of Edmond, OK, is a junior at the University of Oklahoma. He sports a 4.0 grade point average and is pursuing a double major in Letters and History. Over the summer he studied in England. As a freshman at Oklahoma, Kyle spearheaded the founding of the award-winning The Fountainhead, a biweekly alternative student newspaper circulated on four campuses and which boasts the fifth-largest circulation of all newspapers in the state. "Theres something that defies description about actually holding in your hand what was once just a crazy idea and seeing the headlines, smelling the ink, knowing that other students will read it," he says. Kyle is active in the College Republicans and has volunteered for several political campaigns. He is the campus representative for the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, executive director of Sooners for the Second Amendment, and vice-president of Sooners for Life. He hosts a monthly cable TV public affairs program, "Oklahoma Politics and You," and formerly produced and co-hosted a prime time radio news/talk program. As one professor says about Kyle, "(his) impact on the university campus is unprecedented in my fifteen years of teaching."
