Kyle J. Kirby (1981-Present) was born in Grand Junction, Colorado into a family who valued education, Mexican food, sarcasm, beer, and (unfortunately) yard work. He has taught mathematics and science for five years; he has studied learning, memory, and education for eight. Kyle's highest ambition is to wear his graphing calculator around in a holster. He loves animals and will ride camels and elephants given the chance. Kyle lives with his lovely wife, Sharon, who teases him at every possible opportunity. Kyle hopes to one day own a pet goat.
