Bio
Kyle grew up in Wagga Wagga, NSW and his podiatry journey has taken him across NSW, VIC, QLD, TAS, and most recently the ACT. Kyle has previously sat on the Sports Medicine Australia Tasmanian State Board/Council for 3 years, has received $30,000 worth of scholarships and has gone on to further his education and knowledge base through a large variety of courses. Outside of podiatry Kyle has a keen interest in all things sport. Throughout school he represented NSW at cross country and 800m events, while setting multiple High School records in 800m, 1500, and cross-country distances. He also played soccer for the National Premier League (NPL) Division 1, whilst living and working in Hobart, and had many years of Australian rules football (finishing up last year with the ANU Griffins). However, after multiple broken bones, 12 shoulder dislocations, half a fake tooth and one shoulder reconstruction he now prefers watching local sport from the sideline with a cold beverage, running, skiing, and taking his Kelpie out to kick the footy rather than throwing his body around for more punishment.
