Kindler attended Queen's University in Kingston, ON where he studied English and Film.[3]
In 2009, Kindler and his wife, Jill Bodie, collaborated with Amanda Tapping on a children's charity foundation called Sanctuary for Kids, intending to leverage the show's cult following for a good cause.[4][5] The foundation closed in 2018.[6]
