Kyle grew up like most Northern California kids - active in all sports from swimming and golf in the summer to skiing in the winter; soccer, baseball, basketball, football, volleyball, you name it. Kyle was diagnosed with Friedreich's Ataxia at age 17. Although FA has hindered his ability to participate in some of the sports he loves, FA has enhanced Kyle's passion for cycling. Kyle founded Ride Ataxia in 2007; a movement that has raised $1.5 million for FA research. Kyle's cycling feats include completion of Race Across America -- a 3,000 mile race which his 4-man team finished in 8 days, 8 hours, and 14 minutes. Kyle graduated from the University of California Davis in 2005 with a degree in Civil Engineering. Kyle worked for 5 years as an Environmental Engineer in Sacramento before becoming spokesperson for the Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA).

TEDxPhoenixville, the first TEDx event in the Philadelphia region, celebrates the creative, innovative and inspiring work happening right here and all around the world. Our objective is to present thought-provoking ideas via an annual day-long event featuring compelling speakers and performers.

Welcome to Ideaville, a place where local can mean everything from our solar system to our community. A place where YOUR BACKYARD becomes a universe of amazing ideas. In 2012 TEDxPhoenixville explored your backyard from the perspective of the arts, science, technology, education and humor, and how a lively mixture of ideas and people can lead to inspiration and innovation.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.*
