THINGS MY PARENTS ARE PROUD OF:

I love what I do for a living
My compassion for others—always a team player
My relentless optimism
The fact that I’m no longer on their phone plan (but I do still use their cable login for Max)
I give tech support over the phone WITHOUT losing patience
My Eagle Scout Award
My sense of humor (they say I got it from them, but if I did, I must have taken all of it)
I call them frequently
My ability to switch the input from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2—a skill they are lacking

THINGS I'M PROUD OF:

I love what I do for a living
I can tie my shoes really, really fast
I’ve got about three sick slight of hand magic tricks
My go-to, 7 hour, karaoke playlist on Spotify (I can send it to you)
Invented a game within my office’s Slack that over 100 people played daily (for over 4 years—even after I left the agency)
I had pizza every Wednesday for two years straight #PizzaWednesday
The impressive amount of knowledge I have regarding the hit CBS show Survivor (I’ve auditioned four times, interviewed once)
I can have déjà vu without telling people I’m having déjà vu
I can come up with a pun for just about anything
My helpfulness in pub trivia (pop culture, music, TV/Movies are my most useful areas of expertise)
Freshman year of high school, I played football weighing in at 88 lbs. I had an extra point play named after me called “Kyle Dives”but the team rightfully called it “Kyle Dies”

MORE KYLE

This is my Survivor audition video in case you wanted to see that.

That's the host and executive producer (and my new buddy) Jeff Probst. He liked it!
