He is a proud graduate of Ohio University and received a master’s degree from Mount Vernon Nazarene University.
Kyle Armstrong is a founder and co-founder of numerous businesses primarily focused on the technology industry. Having coached and worked with dozens of other startups, he enjoys speaking to young aspiring entrepreneurs about the “Waves” of entrepreneurial life.
His latest venture, RefReps, is an Indiana-based education technology company. They launched their “Intro to Sports Officiating” education initiative in 2022. On a mission to help the world see the game through the eyes of officials, RefReps provides coursework and materials to equip schools, colleges, and organizations with the tools needed to teach the pillars of officiating.
With a standardized course curriculum, RefReps is making a significant impact by addressing the national officiating shortage and helping the next generation understand the importance of, and need for, great sports officials.

Caleb Lovelace graduated from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUl) and is another entrepreneur at heart. He finds motivation in growing his network and says, "RefReps has opened an avenue of being able to do this on an entirely new level." It's no wonder that Caleb placed top 25 in a national sales competition at Baylor University. When Caleb steps away from his phone and laptop, you can find him golfing to decompress.
