How does the son of one of the most influential Protestant youth pastors, use the lessons he was taught from an early age to help fellow Catholics reconnect with the heart of our Evangelistic beginnings? Kyle VanDuser, a dynamic Catholic-convert and a true servant-leader, has channeled his entrepreneurial spirit into helping businesses, political leaders, and ministers expand their influence, while always remaining deeply rooted in the unwavering truths of the Catholic faith. His personal journey is nothing short of transformative, and it has the power to move hearts, bring tears, spark laughter, and reignite the flame of conversion in those who hear it. His unrelenting belief in the true presence of the Eucharist is contagious—so much so that you might find yourself signing up for adoration before you know what’s happening. It’s not just about growing a business or a brand for Kyle; it’s about reconnecting with the heart of our faith—and having a little fun while doing it.
Kyle is a graduate of Ave Maria University, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts in Business and is currently working toward his Master’s degree in Theology. Kyle currently sits on the board of Action for Life, a non-profit, interfaith, volunteer organization that is dedicated to protecting and fostering the sanctity of life from conception until natural death.

Over the years, Kyle has coached at every level—from elementary school teams to collegiate athletes—and served as a youth minister, political consultant, and business coach. In each role, his passion for leadership and personal growth shines through in everything he does! Whether he's working with grassroots campaigns, startup businesses, youth groups, teams, or family-owned companies across various industries, Kyle’s goal is always the same: to help people grow, thrive, and lead with purpose.

Kyle is the Founder and Executive Director of Cyprus Island Enterprises, and the author of Blue Collar Catholicism. He’s married to his amazing wife, Kayla, and together they’re raising three young daughters and a baby on the way, who are probably already planning their future farm takeover. They live on a 2.5-acre homestead farm in Southwest Florida, where Kyle’s journey of preparing the farm became the spark of inspiration for his book.
Through hard work, faith, and the occasional chicken chase, Kyle’s experiences on the farm have shaped his perspective on life, faith, and the blue-collar spirit he so passionately writes about. With a mix of hard work, a little humor, and a whole lot of appreciation for the simple things, Kyle’s journey on the farm has deepened his faith—and probably taught him more about patience than he ever signed up for. But through it all, he’s grateful, grounded, and ready to share a laugh or two along the way.
