Kyle LaFond is the Founder of American Provenance. Kyle started his career as a wildlife biologist for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources but later transitioned into teaching middle school science. During his years as an educator he became passionate about encouraging his students to use safe, natural personal care products. This led to the launch of American Provenance from a renovated machine shed on his family’s 4th generation dairy farm.

Kyle is always willing to share his experiences and has continued to help and mentor startup founders across the country.

Outside of his entrepreneurial pursuits Kyle likes to volunteer and now serves on the Board of Directors for Friends of PBS Wisconsin and Tri-4-Schools.

In his free time Kyle likes to work on various projects around his family farm. On nice weekends you can find him hiking or fishing on some of Wisconsin’s wonderful public properties.
