Lyle owns and operates The Davidson Agency, a Trusted Choice®, independent insurance agency in Delphos, KS. He has over 18 years of experience in the insurance community.
After having worked as a farmer, teacher, and coach, Lyle began working at his father’s independent insurance agency in 1999, and later that year he purchased the agency. The Davidson Agency is now located in five rural Kansas towns, including Delphos, Glasco, Minneapolis, Bennington, and Assaria.
As a rural agency owner, Lyle has the opportunity to work with many farmers. He earned his Agribusiness and Farm Insurance Specialist (AFIS) designation in 2007, and has continued to manage his own farmland along with managing land for out-of-state landowners.
Lyle has served on the board of directors for the Kansas Association of Insurance Agents. He chaired their Communications/Trusted Choice Committee and is currently on the Technology committee. His commitment to mobilizing the independent insurance industry has led to his involvement with the Agents Council for Technology (ACT) for which he has served as a member of the Strategic Future Issues Work Group. Along with the insurance agency, Lyle owned Sunflower Realty from 2003-2010 and continues to maintain his license under The Davidson Agency.
Locally, Lyle has served on the board of trustees for the United Methodist Church in Delphos, his local school district’s site council and long range planning committee, the Minneapolis Golf Course Board, and has also worked as a tournament director. Moreover, he is a member of the local Lion’s Club.
Lyle is a graduate of Bethany College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in secondary math education. In addition to his work and community involvement, Lyle makes time to coach his son’s flag football, basketball and baseball teams. He and his wife, Amanda, have two children, Spencer and Shelby. Lyle enjoys the great outdoors and you'll often see him hunting or playing golf.
