Kyle is the Albia location manager and oversees the computer/networking within SFG.

Kyle, son of Max & Sharon Smith is the youngest of 5, who make up the 3^rd generation of SFG. He grew up within the family business assisting in the day to day work. Some of his favorite memories growing up as a kid, was unloading trucks at the elevator and riding on the back of the terra-gator checking nozzles while his dad sprayed.

Outside of work, Kyle enjoys most anything that is competitive. Basketball and volleyball at the local Recreational Center and most recently weightlifting, are some of his favorite. He and his wife Kristin, who is the Albia Office Manager, have 4 children they try to keep actively involved in the family business.
