About

Kyle has been writing about home improvement topics for a decade-plus, including smart home products, power tools, and saving money on home improvement. In addition to Angi, he has articles published with websites and publications like:

  • New York Magazine’s The Strategist

  • Business Insider

  • Best Reviews

  • Chicago Tribune

  • Scary Mommy

  • The Dad

  • Greatmats

He and his wife enjoy tackling home improvement projects, including remodeling a 1920s-era farmhouse in rural Nebraska. Although he left things like electrical work and plumbing to the professionals, tearing much of the home down to the studs and installing flooring, walls, doors, a French drain, and painting was a satisfying challenge. 

The most important lesson he learned? Having the right tools makes the project go much smoother. The second most important lesson? It’s OK to try a project, but it’s also OK to request help from a pro.

Kyle enjoys helping readers learn more about a task or project, giving them the information they need to decide whether they can do it themselves.
