Kyle Davis
Kyle is a Seattle Mariners fan who celebrates baseball and its many happenings as a vehicle for critical and creative thinking, as well as a microcosm of humanity in a much less terrifying and palatable form. He is the author and curator of the baseball blog The Trance of Waiting, where he makes jokes about Adam Kennedy and pretends to know what he’s talking about. Kyle is a graduate of the University of Washington where he studied English and Creative Writing. He currently lives in Seattle with his wife, their two cats, and their television set.
