about KYLE

After being an investor and board member at over 20 middle market companies, I discovered that my deepest calling wasn’t only to acquire and grow companies, but to also use business as a platform where people encounter the love of Christ. I’ve learned that true reward and lasting fruit is found by focusing on depth over breadth. At Riverbound, this looks like decades-long partnerships with a few local faith-driven leaders. Together, we will grow companies, trust God, and transform generations.

After 35 years of building and leading companies, my heart is to raise up next generation Christian leaders who will bear fruit on trees planted by faithful founders. I know the ache of leading without a guide and the pain of not having an option to sell to someone who would honor what was built. Anchored in 2 Timothy 2:2, Riverbound stands in the gap. We preserve what’s been cultivated, develop leaders with conviction, and ensure the harvest continues for generations so eternal impact is multiplied and not lost.
