Owner/Founder
Kyle Sproles
Kyle is an Army Special Forces Green Beret and executive protection specialist who is extremely passionate about keeping people safe. That’s why it’s the mission statement of ASR Solutions. He has been instructing law enforcement, military units, and civilians around the world in survival tactics and he will eagerly continue to inform and instruct anyone who will lend an ear.
Kyle has been confronting threats of all kinds for over a decade on multiple continents and inside the United States. His experience in training to respond to active shooter incidents at embassies and American facilities abroad, coupled with his experience protecting high value clients has enabled him to be uniquely qualified for preparing individuals to respond to active threats.
Kyle Sproles has been such a pleasure to collaborate with! At each step of working together he truly went above and beyond to make sure he met our team’s needs. Prior to our active shooter training he met with us several times to ensure his training was catered to our specific program needs. For the duration of the training he was so patient with our staff, professional in his delivery, answered questions thoroughly, and helped our staff feel much more comfortable surrounding this important topic.
After the training he checked-in with our team to ensure we weren’t left with any training gaps and offered to follow-up to address any additional concerns staff brought to us later. We are thoroughly pleased and would be more than happy to work with Kyle again in the future!

As an attorney and the owner and CEO of a defense company, I have had the opportunity to work with Kyle Sproles on more than one occasion. I have consulted with him in areas of active shooter assessments, casualty medical care, mission specific equipment selection, and high value personal asset protection. His knowledge, passion, and communication skills are second to none.
Mr. Sproles is without question the most well-rounded and experienced instructor that I have trained under, and he remains my top call for training and special projects. His professionalism and high moral character are what should be expected of all instructors. I would recommend Mr. Sproles to anyone, from the individual wanting personal training, to the CEO needing personal protection and corporate training.

Kyle was professional, knowledgeable, and a great communicator in our training session. He knows what he’s talking about and is passionate about equipping people with the necessary tools and strategies to keep them and those around them safe. I feel much more confident and prepared for a crisis thanks to Kyle’s services!

Our program partnered with Active Shooter Response Solutions to provide an Active Threat Response course as part of an on-site conference and a virtual follow-up. This course provided a lot of valuable, personalized information for our team to address safety concerns in multiple settings…In both the live and virtual settings there were opportunities to discuss actual scenarios and appropriate responses to ensure both the safety of our staff and our participants. This training was engaging and provided valuable tools for our staff to implement while planning activities with safety in mind, and to react to events as they occur in the field. I would highly recommend this training for other agencies!
