Kyle Jackson grew up in Montgomery, Alabama, where the biggest two things in life were playing sports and Auburn football (War Eagle!).  He played college baseball at Lipscomb University and then coached college baseball at Lee University, both in Tennessee.  Kyle has a degree in Exercise Science with a minor in Bible Theology, and masters in Education.
     He proposed to his wife Jennifer (who is also on staff at NLC) on the top of the Empire State Building in 2007!  In 2008, the newlyweds moved to Fort Myers, where Kyle began working in sales at Suncoast Contractor Supply.  In 2010, he became the Lee County Fellowship of Christian Athletes representative. Kyle has been on staff at Next Level since May 2011. A random fact about Kyle is that he hiked the Inca Trail in Peru with author Mark Batterson!
