Kyle Parker joined Not Your Average Joe in 2021. Kyle has dedicated his adult life to service and people. He has worked in three major arenas: After graduating from Oklahoma Christian University in the previous millenia, he served as a pastor in Texas, Oklahoma, and Southern California. Upon leaving full-time ministry, Kyle has served as an Executive Director, Activity Director, and Coordinator in senior living and senior activity centers. He has three amazing children (one of whom is on the autism spectrum), two dogs, two cats, and fish. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with family and friends, learning new things, and teaching others. He also has a vast repertory of useless facts and information.


In case you're wondering, Seanchaí is a Gaelic word meaning teacher, or storyteller. The Seanchaís kept the history and story of the Celtic people alive. Kyle really enjoys speaking with businesses, churches, schools, and individuals to talk about what inclusion of people with all abilities truly looks like in daily life.
