About
Hello, I’m Kyle Ward and this is my site!
I’m from Vancouver WA in the United States of America. I’m heavily into Electronic Music, Exergaming and interactive entertainment. (a fancy way of saying videogames)
When I’m not working and/or producing music, I enjoy: Competitive Swimming, Diving, Racquetball, Spelunking, Zip-lining ATV’ing, Chess, and Electronics. Most of all I like to travel and enjoy life as much as possible!
Thank you for visiting my site and showing interest in my projects. Please feel free to contact me or ask me a question via the FAQ section of the site. It’s always nice to meet new people and get feedback on any topic found here.
