Kyle Hanton

"Kyle Hanton is a 2013 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, where he received a B.S. in English and won the 2012 A. Stuart Pitt Memorial Poetry Award for best poem by a midshipman, and earned an M.P.S.M. in Sports Industry Management from Georgetown University in 2023. After years of active duty both asea and ashore, he transitioned to the Naval Reserve and specializes in Public Affairs. During his naval service, he circumnavigated the globe over the course of two deployments, hunted submarines north of the Arctic Circle, and served as Speechwriter to the Secretary of the Navy. Originally from Dimondale, MI, he now lives in Lakeville, MA, with his wife, daughter, two dogs, and four cats. His greatest joy is being a husband to his wife and a father to his daughter. He spends his time juggling his love of words with trying not to think about the giant wolf spiders lurking in the cranberry bogs. He has the occasional daydream about starlit nights at sea."
