An Intro to one of NetGen’s Founders

Written by Kyle Braatz on Jul 6th, 2009

imageHi, my name is Kyle Braatz. I am one of the founders of NetGen Corporation and the not for profit organization called the Typically Canadian Group. I am an avid athlete who played junior hockey, lacrosse, golf, and any outdoor sport/activity imaginable, including slalom water skiing, cycling, running, kayaking and rock climbing to name a few.

At the age of 25, I live life focused on leaving a positive impression on everyone I meet. I try to leave this positive impression through a number of different avenues such as motivational speaking, organizing fundraisers, sports and the business world.  I am dedicated to living an adventurous life and using my fortunate experiences to help others. I love to have fun and will work extra hard to ensure people around me are smiling. I work hard at NetGen and Typically Canadian because I love what I do and nothing beats the adrenaline rush associated with personal and team success whether in sport, business or life in general.
