Lyle Mortimer was still in his teens when he discovered his singing voice had the ability to stir the emotions of others. Since that time he has loved and been involved in entertainment. He studied theater and music while in college where he was involved in many college and professional productions. Lyle has sung in nearly all the major civic and opera houses of the western states. He has continued studying and singing and is active with the Utah Lyric Opera Society.

Lyle believes involvement with the arts is a key element to a stable and productive life. “The arts are much cheaper than therapy,” he says. Outside of the opera crowd, Lyle is known as the founder, and CEO of Cedar Fort Books and its many subsidiary companies. Lyle and his wife, Sheila, have seven children and 22 grandchildren.
