Kyle J. Spencer

Kyle Spencer leverages his legal background, experience in energy, and passion for policy to advocate for clients on Capitol Hill and in various government agencies.

Kyle joined the firm from the American Petroleum Institute (API), where he was a Policy Advisor. In this role, he was responsible for advancing member interests through public testimony and written comments before the Environmental Protection Agency, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Office of Management and Budget, and U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board. In nearly four years of representing API’s vast natural gas and oil membership, Kyle built and maintained effective coalitions on issues affecting every segment of the industry.

Known For: Ability to digest, distill and deliver complex information in a clear and concise manner.

Interesting Career Note: Kyle’s career in advocacy truly began at the grassroots level. While working for the party chairman in his college town, he wrote opinion pieces in the local paper, testified in municipal government hearings and knocked on doors for congressional candidates. 

Fast Fact: Kyle is an avid golfer. He was once greeted on the first tee by a former President and about two dozen Secret Service agents. The former President, a notoriously fast player, decided to “play through” to the second hole after Kyle hit his drive. Moments later, as the last agent in the President’s “cart-a-cade” sped by, Kyle holed his second shot, earning him a tip of the cap from the agent.
