Description

Hello!

I’m Kyle, American, 36 years old, who is taking a break from the intense schedule of the film industry to enjoy my life and focus on personal growth. I have professional experience working in all kinds of fields, from various construction trades, to advertising, and tv to professional alpaca shearing. The thread that ties them all together is my passion for working with my hands and expressing myself creatively. For years I’ve saved money to travel but have continued to push it to the back burner every time the next bigger better project came my way. This is the year I decided to be more intentional about where I place my energy and slow down to finally change things.

The last TV show I was working on wrapped in October and I’ve been traveling/volunteering since the beginning of December.

I love to experience new cultures, meet people, share experiences, try new food, and share the things I’m passionate about with others. I grew up in a small town in the midwest but moved to the mountains of Colorado as soon as I was on my own. I’ve always loved being outdoors and close to nature and that love really grew when I lived somewhere I could be outside everyday snowboarding or hiking in such a beautiful environment. Ten years ago I had my first experience volunteering on an organic farm in Hawaii through WWOOF where I gained valuable experience working with aquaponics systems and learning about sustainable farming methods. Since then I’ve worked on farms in 48 states, eventually settling down in Chicago 8 years ago taking a job as a professional photographer. The thing I love about living in a big city is the ability to have access to art and foods and cultures from all around the world. Four years ago I began working in the film industry, and while I genuinely love being part of something artistic, after going non-stop for so long the time has come to take a step away and invest in myself and explore all the places I have yet to see.

What I bring to the table:
- Great mood and positive views on life, Carpe diem type of person
- Reliable and loyal
- Hardworking and "nothing is impossible" attitude
- Love finding creative solutions to problems. Tell me something you need help with and I’ll find a way to make it work
- Enjoy physical tasks and getting dirty and sweaty. There’s no better way to get a good night’s sleep!
- Love to cook, and am passionate about learning new methods I’ve never tried before
- Have created visual content for countless national and international brands, a skill that could be leveraged if you need help advertising your business

I’m fully vaccinated for Covid-19 (and have been tested 3x a week per film industry protocol)

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

-I've worked in just about every area of construction, so I've got the professional experience to essentially build an entire house from pouring a foundation, to nailing down a roof (just don't ask me to do plumbing or electric haha)
-I've been doing photography professionally for about 15 years now, anything photo or film related I've probably read at least 3 books on it
-I'm a great cook, I've been cooking since I was a child and my first job at 15 was as a cook
-I have pretty advanced gardening skills having worked with aquaponics systems for extended periods of time
-I am one of the best alpaca shearers in North America, probably in the top 15 most experienced

I have tons of other various skills, just ask. Chances are I've probably at least dabbled in whatever you ask me haha. I'm a collector of eclectic trades- basically anything where you're working with your hands and you're creating something physical you can see. It's so satisfying working hard on something and seeing the fruits of your labor

Autres infos...

When it comes down to it, all I'm looking for in my travels is to learn some new skills and make genuine connections. If I get some terrible illness, or get robbed, or injured, all of it will have been worth it if I have shared authentic experiences with people I can connect with. There aren't many things we can control in this life but I'm trying to do my part to live in an intentional way so I'm able to meet people where they are and be mutually vulnerable and understood.
