Kyle Tress began the sport of skeleton in November 2002, after watching it during the Salt Lake City Olympics.
Tress studied at Rutgers University, SUNY Plattsburgh, and the University of Pennsylvania before committing to skeleton full time. When he's not sliding, he's working for SledBox Interactive, a software development company he co-founded with fellow skeleton athlete Chris Nurre. Kyle is pursuing a career in film and acting, and hopes to attend the USC School of Cinema. He has appeared in CSI: New York, Transformers 2, and When in Rome.
