Lyle moved from Nebraska to Klamath Falls in the late 1970's.  He instantly fell in love with the mountains, the trees, and the rivers, and never once regretted the move.

Lyle's job history is quite colorful.  He’s managed a pizza parlor, been a bartender and, this being perhaps the most unusual item on his resume, has been a “kiwifruit grader” at an organic orchard in New Zealand .  A Klamath Falls radio station hired Lyle in the mid-90's as a news writer and commercial producer.  In 2004, Lyle joined the KOTI/KOBI news operation.

Lyle notes with pride that he has a big responsibility presenting the Klamath Basin to a wide and varied audience.  "The recent and on-going water crisis has underscored the fact that the people and the issues in the Klamath Basin are every bit as diverse as the terrain.  Winning and keeping the trust of the viewers, as well as the newsmakers, is something I strive for with each story".

When he's not busy reporting the news, Lyle enjoys astronomy, playing guitar, fixing up old radios, and listening to anything by Sheryl Crow.
