Integral - adjective - Essential to completeness, Lacking nothing essential
Are you missing anything in your life? Need encouragement?
Hi, I’m Kyle—and let’s just say it up front: I’m a regular guy. A father, husband, Christian, outdoorsman, and someone who values a simple, purpose-driven life. I enjoy being in nature, hunting, fishing, traveling, and above all, connecting with people in a real and meaningful way.
For my entire adult life, I’ve worked in the manufacturing industry as a machinist. I started Integral Design Services to help people bring their ideas to life—turning rough sketches and concepts into real, functional prototypes. Whether you’re an inventor, a small business owner, or someone chasing a dream, I’m here to offer the tools and support you need to make it real.
I also launched Integral Words as a space to share honest reflections on life—faith, struggle, resilience, and perspective. I write not just about what I’ve been through, but how I’ve made it through. My goal is to shine a light on the parts of life we often overlook and offer encouragement that helps people move forward, even when things feel stuck.
I’m open to exploring just about any topic that matters to you. If you ever have ideas, suggestions, or something you’d like to see me write about, reach out. My hope is that through both my design work and my writing, I can help others succeed, shift their perspective, and find the strength to push past whatever obstacles they’re facing.
Let’s build something meaningful—together.
Feeling Lost
I’ve spent years playing small, letting excuses and circumstances hold me back—but not anymore. Inspired by a passage in Luke, I’m choosing to push through the hardships, stay visible, and let my light shine, even when it feels easier to hide. This week, I’m reminding myself—and you—to refuse to stay lost, keep moving forward, and be the light you were meant to be.
Unexpected Breakthroughs...
Have you ever been ready to give up on something, only to have it work out unexpectedly? I had several of those last week. It really got me thinking of why we tend to give up so easily.
Pushing Through Opposition…
Have you started to make changes in your life and things just seem to hit you harder and harder to keep you where you have been?
Staying On The Right Track
Why is it so hard to stay on the right track? We can do all the hard work to do the right things in our lives, but we are so lax in maintaining them.
Chasing The Shiny Things...
How often do we focus on getting the next new shiny thing we want? Does that go well all the time? Sometimes those new shiny things can be the very things that cause strife in our lives.
The Ups and Downs…
Lately I have been having some really good things happen, and then soon after, something not so good. It seems like life has had to keep itself balanced recently. That is both good and bad. Go figure right?
Finding Peace…
How are you spiritually? How are you financially? How are you mentally? Do you enjoy whatever work you do? These are all questions that need to be answered, and they all need to be positive if you are going to stay where you are for a while.
Living With The Fear
There are all kinds of things we can be afraid of, but why do we choose to live in fear? Why do we let fear control us? Why do we fear things in the first place?
Reflection Time...
As a Christian, I believe Easter is about the resurrection of Jesus from the death on the cross. When I was a kid, I focused on the easter basket I typically received full of candy, but this year I have a whole new perspective on the day.
Showing Up!
How do you show up? Are you the one 37 minutes early, fully prepared, and organized? Or are you 4 minutes late, in your pajamas, 2 different socks on, and have no clue what’s going on?
The Hyphen…
The two dates on the marker are not the important part—it’s the hyphen in the middle that is the important.
I Depend On You…
This is Lacie. I’m Kyle’s wife. While I can’t say I have always been in the best place… I’ve trusted God throughout the daily ups and downs of it all…
Your Big Idea…
Why do we resist change most of the time? What is it about having a routine that is comforting?
Inner Strength...
Oftentimes our situations change outside of our control. We must adapt and overcome it. I know that sounds like a negative perspective, but it can also give us opportunities to grow.
