Kyle Dreier's wife would describe him as “sensitive, creative, considerate, mildly handsome.” His three boys say he is “tall, strong, old, silly.”

His specialties include dumpster diving, entertaining ideas and thinking while sleeping. His favorite food is anything baked - with a particular weakness for pies or anything with 'chocolate' in the name.

Kyle's favorite day: pie for breakfast, wander the town hand in hand with his love Amy and a mocha, catch a movie (and likely another slice of pie), and then retreat with his boys for some good ol' fashion wrestling and root beer floats.
