Kyle Russell

Bio

Kyle is a rising junior at Wesleyan University who is studying physics and engineering. At college, Kyle plays on three soccer teams, works in a biophysics research lab, is a tour guide, and still finds time to sing his heart out. He can't wait to get to the island and experience whatever summer adventures lie ahead. His friends often compare him to a puppy or John Cena. Questing isn't fun; it's a lifestyle.
