Kitchen and Housekeeping Manager
Kyle the kitchen and housekeeping manager and is here to keep your stomachs full and your beds made while you’re visiting Grizzly Creek Ranch. Kyle found his passion for cooking while being raised by his southern grandma and spending many hours together in the kitchen.
He’s originally from Port Arthur, Texas and has lived in seven different states. Kyle enjoys traveling throughout the United States and has now visited 13 states and visited more than 100 cities. He has another 37 states to go but for now, he’s busy running the lodge and feeding hundreds of kids each week at camp.
Kyle has lived through multiple natural disasters including tornados, earthquakes, catastrophic floods, southern hail storms and forest fires. I am a Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita survivor and that is what brought him to Northern Nevada about 15 years ago – the high desert climate and inland location makes living through a third hurricane unlikely.
While not cooking for 200+ people at a time, you’ll find Kyle enjoying outdoor adventures or doing anything that allows him to be creative. He also enjoys playing sports, traveling, watching a good movie, walking his dog, and learning new and challenging tasks.
He love animals and Kyle’s two favorite types is dogs and black jaguars. Did you know that black jaguars are sometimes misidentified as black panthers, which are not actually a species but a term popularly used for melanistic leopards and jaguars which have dark pigmentation? Both black big cats are part of the genus Panthera but leopards are found in Africa and Asia while jaguars are found in the Americas.
Kyle stands at 6 foot 8 inches tall and is friends with Bigfoot!
