About tyler
Back in grade school, Tyler was the kid who, report card after report card, elicited a "Tyler talks too much in class" evaluation from virtually every teacher he ever had. In fact, that almost certainly continued in high school. And if there were report cards in college, he probably would've gotten it there, too.
All of that, coupled with a lifelong love of sports, led to Tyler's pursuit of a career in sports broadcasting and writing. Childhood broadcasts of Tecmo Super Bowl and Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball have given way to being the voice of Division I athletic programs and international baseball. Satirical written recaps of club baseball games in college have led to covering the Minor Leagues for MLB and MiLB.com and running websites for the Australian Baseball League. A lot more has come and gone through it all.
Below is Tyler's comprehensive resume (or at least all the stuff he can remember).
