In a span of 3 years, he built and sold the company and moved into the oilfield industry. Five years later, he built another company with 34 employees, generating over $14 million a year in revenue. “Yet this journey also taught me about how to navigate through unexpected downs,”says Kyle.

After he moved to the United States, Kyle built several companies and partnerships, strongly driven by the desire to build a better life for his son and daughter plus a unique legacy as an entrepreneur.

The Idea Behind the Company

“When my 6-year-old daughter came to me asking for me to read her bedtime stories the answer was always going to be yes -and geography should not throw a wrench into that commitment. No matter where my business travels would take me. Another motivating factor: after doing some research my team found that 50% of Americans read at grade 8 reading level and 54 million adult Americans can’t read at all,” states Kyle. This gave him the idea to establishEdsoma, an app that unites and guides early readers.
