I am Kyle Preston, a native Houstonian, proud husband to Robin Preston and a father of three. I believe that all people (including myself) have sinned and that the only path to forgiveness is through the sacrifice that Jesus made for us when he died on the cross. I consider myself a Christian and attend First Baptist Church Houston. I understand what it means to stand for something you believe in.

As a graduate of Clements High School in Sugarland and later from Texas Tech University with a degree in Civil Engineering, I understand what it takes to work in the oil and gas industry. Starting as a summer intern for Brown and Root engineering in 1996, I spent my career building offshore oil platforms and LNG facilities around the world.

I understand the complexities of other cultures having lived in Japan, China, United Kingdom, and Egypt and having traveled to 30+ countries.

I understand what it means to be a small business owner. Before we had children, my wife and I ran a successful coffee shop in Cypress, Texas called Prestos Coffee.

I have a child that has had reconstructive heart surgery and I am thankful for the amazing quality of healthcare that Texas Children’s Hospital has provided. I understand the desire and need for people to have cost effective healthcare.  

I believe education is a way to transform a nation. In pursuing this interest, I am working on setting up a School of Engineering and Agriculture in Zambia at Northrise University.  Robin and I both sit on of the board of trustees of Northrise University. I serve on my neighborhood’s home owners association board and for many years I have participated in the MS150 bike ride. A good game of chess is also an enjoyable activity of mine.

It is an exciting time to enter politics in Houston. Dan Crenshaw and Ted Cruz are representing our city well and I see the job of representing US Congressional District 7 as a way to serve my community and look forward to the opportunity.  Vote Kyle Preston!
