Kyle is a 2021 graduate of Northwestern State University with a bachelor's degree in accounting. He started his accounting career in retail management before joining the DHC team in 2022. While he is currently a staff accountant, he is only one test away from passing the CPA exam.  Kyle appreciates the fact that everyday in the world of accounting is different than the day before, as there are consistent changes in tax laws and clients.  Most of his time is spent with his children and studying, but he tries to squeeze in a little exercise as well. There is nothing more relaxing than going for a run in the neighborhood. Kyle believes he probably should have been an attorney because he loves having long conversations (or debates if you will) regarding many different topics. He also really enjoys hamburgers and has probably eaten thousands in his lifetime.
