Bio
Monshiar Martell Villarta
Kyle was just an amazing business owner who knew how systems work and how to implement them. He mentored me in the benefits of automation, how to ensure business profitability, and developing systems that work. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to work with him and I am always looking forward at the prospect of working with him again.

When meeting new people, you often see them thinking: what can I get out of this encounter? Instead, Kyle asks: what might this other person want or need from our encounter, and how might I deliver it? He's been on the business frontlines and is a great resource when all sorts of forces outside of your control can cause your company to suffer. Kyle has worked with one of my agency teams, and I've had the privilege of mentoring Kyle through some of his M&A activities. He is one of the rare people who takes action and gets stuff done! Our work together has blossomed into a friendship, and I highly recommend Kyle!
