Kyle Watanabe

My name is Kyle Watanabe, I’m 30 years old and I currently live in sunny Arizona! I’ve been married to my wife Jessie for 7 years and we have an amazing son named Kaiden through the miracle of IVF, he is 2.5 years old! I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at birth and while it has provided many hurdles over the years, I made the decision early in life to not let it stop me or define me. I completed my biggest goal of becoming the first male with Cystic Fibrosis, (with his original lungs), to finish a full Iron Man. Becoming a triathlete has not only kept me healthy, it’s given me a platform to share my story, inspire others, and push myself farther than I ever thought I could. I am also an entrepreneur, so if I’m not training, you can find me working on my businesses. I am beyond grateful and blessed to be a part of the Synergy family and I can’t wait to help others realize they are not defined by their diagnosis! BACK TO ALL ATHLETES
