Directors/Instructors
This unique opportunity blends their love for fencing and passion for developing positive character in this up and coming generation.
Kyle and his wife Stacy have been working with young people for well over 20 years. 12 years ago, they began fencing as both a hobby and a recreational exercise to do as a couple. They fell in love with the sport, and the positive effect it was having on the young people participating in the fencing club.
Fencing re-introduces, re-enforces, and restores the character traits that are fundamental for life.
Kyle is not only involved with the fencing club, but also is instrumental in developing and running fencing programs in both a local public high school and a homeschool organization, where he has seen many youth develop into extraordinary adults.
