A year after receiving his teacher's certification, Pyle went on to teach American history and government at Ford City High School as well as social studies at Shannock Valley Jr./Sr.
Pyle ran for the 60th Legislative District seat after incumbent Jeff Coleman declined to seek another term.
His work greatly enabled the decision of Allegheny Technologies Inc to build their hot strip mill in Brackenridge which solidified ATI's western Pennsylvania steel making and those jobs for the next century to come.
The MCHM remaining in the damaged tanks was moved from West Virginia to Rosebud Mining's Dutch Run coal preparation plant near Elderton, Pennsylvania, within Pyle's district, in February, 2014.
[5] In January 2021, Pyle posted a meme on his personal Facebook account mocking Joe Biden's appointee for Assistant Secretary for Health, Rachel Levine.
[6][7][8] Critics characterized the post as transphobic, and the LGBTQ+ Equality Caucus of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives called for Pyle to be reprimanded.
He continued to serve while receiving treatment, but after his cancer worsened, he resigned his seat in 2021, one year after suffering a stroke.
