Biography

Kirby was born in Chehalis and grew up within walking distance of Penny Playground and the Chehalis Outdoor Pool. He attended W.F. West and Centralia College, then received an appointment to the United States Air Force Academy where he majored in Systems Engineering Management. Commissioned as an Intelligence Officer, his active duty career was served at Fort Hood, TX and culminated in a deployment to Afghanistan. Kirby married his Georgia native wife, Leanna, in 2016 and convinced her to move back to Chehalis in 2017. They have two children and look forward to raising them in Chehalis. Kirby joined the Chehalis Foundation board because he recognizes the direct contributions the foundation has to programs that positively impacted him when he was growing up, and he wants to ensure these programs remain in place for the children of the future. His biggest passion is athletics, and he has volunteered with the W.F. West football and wrestling programs since returning to the area.
