About Kye Funk:

Aloha my name is Kye and mahalo for checking out my profile! I am a Former Federal Fire Fighter on a helicopter attack crew that moved onto a command team as a Public Information officer being deployed around the US serving on National Fire Incidents across our great Nation since 2007. I am currently finishing my book called, "The Miracle Man" that is a Non-Fiction-self mastery & spirituality book about my near death experience and meeting God. It conveys how to utilize our greatest tragedy and turning it into our super power. Secondly,  I am finalizing the details of my 501c3 non-profit foundation called "Frontline First Responders™" that is all about sharing stories of strength and hope and normalizing speaking about PTSD and giving our first responders and military members tools and resources to help them in all areas of their lives. I have a background in Media Production, Marketing & Sales and am very handy with tools as I grew up on a ranch in Wyoming. I am new to this site but have been a house sitter for sometime.
