Kyle O’Daniel
Will admit that his greatest weakness is Graeter’s Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip ice cream. And really good bourbon. (Not necessarily together.) (Not necessarily in that order.) Would’ve loved to have been a master bourbon distiller or an archeologist – uncovering elements of age and history, blending and elevating both to an art form (think Charles L. Beam meets Indiana Jones). Loves the History Channel. And Aston Martins (specifically the Bond DB5). His first job post-college was with a media marketing firm – a place he found both his wife and his career calling (including an affinity for go-to-market strategy.) Grew up with only brothers, so as a dad now with three little girls, is learning all about teatime and dolls.
