Kyle has been with Burnette Insurance since 2005, when he was the first of the third generation of Burnettes to work for the agency. Kim, John and Stan were nervous, but he did just fine and has not embarrassed them yet. At least not professionally. Kyle lives in the area with Crystal, his wife who is way out his league, and his two miniature dachshunds, Huck and Bess. Huck is a little jerk but he’s Kyle’s good boy. Bess is about the most perfect pup you could ever ask for. Kyle loves helping people with their insurance problems, talking about insurance, watching and playing basketball and loves movies. He still buys Blu-Rays and it’s almost 2025, so you know he’s old. You can reach Kyle at Kyle@burnetteins.com
