Tyler was born and raised in Vestavia, AL and played ice hockey, golf and cross country growing up. He coached and refereed ice hockey after college while starting a family. In 2010, he started attending HIIT training and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes in an effort to regain participation in sports that he longed for after childhood. After his son was born in January of 2015, he walked into a box and fell in love. His first workout was Cindy and after his pitiful showing, he knew things had to change.

He chose Crossfit for his personal health and the accountability that this gym family provides. When he started CrossFit, he was an “overweight and lazy bum”, but his coaches pushed him to find his “happy place” and drove him to become healthier and more fit. That fueled his desire for coaching – the ability to help others get better! Work hard and see the results!
