Kyle grew up in the logging community of Libby, Montana, before enlisting in the United States Marine Corps infantry. In 2002, after earning an honorable discharge, he returned to his native Montana for school at the University of Montana. While in school, Kyle spent his summers working for the U.S. Forest Service fighting fires and cruising timber.

After law school, Kyle started his legal career at a commercial firm in Bozeman, Montana, representing clients in diverse complex litigation, including medical malpractice, toxic tort, natural gas explosions and other environmental litigation.
