About Kyle LeBoeuf

I’m Kyle LeBoeuf.

I’m a tech enthusiast, blogger, Apple evangelist, musician, and coffee-drinker. I started this website so I could have a place to write about what I want. I have been involved in the IT field for a few years now and have experience in supporting both Mac OS X and Windows. I worked for the local school system and various small IT companies before nabbing a job working for a company that deals exclusively in fruit products. I am now currently an IT consultant for a small firm that services the Acadiana area. I’m a student at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, majoring in MIS. In my free time, I often write, read, and hang around the coffee shops for interesting conversation.

I also write about deeper, more philosophical/spiritual stuff here.

I can be reached via email at kyle [at] kyleleboeuf.com
