My Story
Growing up along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and Louisiana, Franklin developed a passion for the natural environment. While at LSU’s Robert Reich School of Landscape Architecture, this hobby blended into his profession. Seeking to enhance these technical skills, he earned his MBA, which has allowed him to develop Kyle Associates as an efficient operating group whose work directly aligns with the environment. The majority of his professional career has been spent growing and developing Kyle Associates.
In addition to his leadership in the engineering field, he is also involved in real estate development and holdings, the farm and timber industry, and he serves on the Board of Directors for American Bank of Covington, Louisiana. But aside from all of his business ventures, Franklin is a devout Christian, and loves hunting, fishing, and traveling. Most important though is his family: his wife Kerri, two children, two step children, and one grandson.
