A native Philadelphian, Kyle’s love of construction began as a young boy walking through the often-dilapidated 18th and 19th-century homes of Society Hill and Rittenhouse Square with his stepfather and grandfather. His excitement and passion for construction and an appreciation of fine craftsmanship led him to work for Pinemar during breaks from school. After working in the technology industry for over ten years, Kyle returned to Philadelphia and Pinemar, driven by a passion for building beautiful homes and working with excellent clients. He is involved in each of Pinemar’s projects and takes great pride in their reputation for excellent workmanship.
Kyle is a graduate of The Haverford School and Colby College. He serves on the board of the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art and the Luxury Home Design Summit and is a trustee of The Shipley School. Kyle and his wife, Marlies, live in Bryn Mawr with their four children and two dogs.
