Kyle Smelser is from central Indiana and arrived in the Triangle in the fall of 2016. Since his arrival, he’s become a big fan of the local restaurant and brewery scene. He is a graduate of Butler University and even though he is a Bulldog at heart, he has pledged his allegiance to ‘The Pack’ when cheering for our local teams.
Kyle has been married to his wife, Sarah, for seven years. Their universe centers around their 2-year-old daughter Sofia and taking care of their dogs — Boomer & Bentley. Much love to their senior pug ‘Bentley’ who recently turned 17 and is entering his senior year in high school.
Growing up in landlocked Indiana, Kyle loves to visit the beaches and mountain towns that NC has to offer!
