Kyle Connall, Director-at-Large (First Term)

Kyle worked in sales and marketing for various food manufacturing companies for 34 years before retiring in 2022. During the last decade of his career, Costco was his primary customer. He collaborated with cross functional teams to develop products that met Costco's needs and managed projects from concept through completion. Following his retirement, Kyle joined the board of Pete's Mountain Water Company, where he completed a three-year term. His passion for gardening began at an early age and has continued to grow, especially since retiring. With more time to devote to the garden, he enjoys refining established borders and creating new ones.

Kyle is the 2027 Hortlandia Co-Chair, serves on the PlantFest Committee, and opens his garden through HPSO's Open Garden program. He and his wife, Iva Marie, garden on two acres in the Pete's Mountain area of West Linn.
