Kile grew up in the Phoenix area before moving to Los Angeles to pursue audio production for film & television. After several years he grew tired of the big city, and wanting to pursue a career that took him outdoors more often, he went back to school at University of Montana for a Wildlife Biology degree. After graduating, he briefly worked in Wyoming doing bird surveys for a non-profit before moving to Tucson to pursue conservation work in his home state. He looks forward to exploring more of Arizona and working with Wild Arizona to maintain trails and habitat in the beautiful deserts and forests of his home state.
