Kyle Applebury

Senior Project Engineer

SE

A licensed Structural Engineer whose background includes everything from heavy civil construction projects to mixed use developments, Kyle joined GLY in 2015 bringing seven years of experience designing concrete structures. He earned both a BS and MS in Civil Engineering from Montana State University-Bozeman and is a longtime volunteer in the ACE Mentor Program. Outside of the office, when he’s not on the golf course begging for mulligans and gimmes, Kyle and his better half, Holly, spend their time traveling or cycling—often combining the two if possible!
