A League City native, Kyle joined the Marine Corps after graduating from Clear Creek High School in 2005. He served as an infantry machine-gunner with the 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines in Ramadi, Iraq in 2006. After being honorably discharged in 2009, Kyle decided to make his love for shooting a career and wanted to share that passion with others. He started Glory Paintball in 2010 at age 23 and has been running it ever since. Despite his biologically unexplainable facial symmetry, and imposing stature, Kyle turned his back on a promising career as a Jonestown-level cult leader and instead opted for the path less travelled, that of a struggling small business owner. Through sheer force of will, and probably a dash of autism, this self-taught welder, machinist, artist, CAD draftsman, entrepreneur, inventor etc., has spent the last decade of his life, singularly-focused on one mission, Glory Paintball, and all that that entails. When asked what his plans were for Glory in the future, here is what he had to say:
"Man, I'm always thinking about it. Day and night. It's hard to put into words for civilians to understand but essentially I'm just trying to recreate like a half dozen of the most intense moments of my time in Iraq. I want school kids looking out the class window with a thousand-yard stare; I want Dave the accountant diving under his desk because a car backfired outside; Stacy, the single mom, throwing a reflex-elbow and rocking one of her spawn in the face because they snuck up behind her. I want to provide an experience so realistic that people leave here with PTSD [maniacal laughter]. I want armor rolling down the streets, multi-storied buildings to clear, spider holes to drop grenades through, machine guns, landmines, mortars, the whole thing... just in a non-lethal form so that no one is actually getting smoked. THAT's my dream... I just need the money to do it all. One step at a time though".
​
Clearly passionate and wildly creative, it's this writer's opinion that Kyle [Glory Paintball] is a force to be reckoned with... That is of course if he doesn't just flip the market upside down with this "secret project" he's been working on in his spare time.
