Kyle Hanson graduated HS in a small Montana town where the only significant industries were a state penitentiary and a Louisiana Pacific lumber mill.

On his way to a B.A. in Biology from Augustana University, he was the first Augie student to present before the National Council on Undergraduate Research. His talk, entitled: Ecological Impacts of Timber Harvest in Montana: An Interdisciplinary Study involving Paleolimnology, Satellite Imagery, and Mules helped cement both his commitment to Community Stewardship and the Scientific Method.

After 20 years of leadership roles and consulting across manufacturing and the public sector, Kyle partnered with an incredible team to start and lead a mission driven company called Timber Age Systems (www.timberage.com), now entering its sixth year of existence. Timber Age is redefining the application of high-performance building and engineered wood products on localized modular home building. With a focus on circular economies, resilient supply chains and local relationships, Timber Age is leading the way in elevating communities through innovative building materials and methods.

Kyle has two awesome daughters, Sadie, a HS Junior at Durango High School and Amiah, a College Sophomore at Yale University. Kyle is married to an amazing wife of 22 years (Tami).
