Tyler became a fly fishing guide when he was only 17, shortly after he started working at a local Boulder fly shop. Tyler grew up on the base of the Rockies and has been exploring nearly every watershed from Denver to Utah and Wyoming to New Mexico. Tyler has been fly fishing for eight years and his adventures have taken him to Mexico, Florida (Keys, Glades), Belize, Bahamas, Costa Rica, Hawaii, California, Wyoming, New Mexico, Montana, Minnesota, and the Mediterranean Sea. Tyler is currently attending the University of Colorado in Boulder with plans to achieve a degree in Environmental Science/Water Resources.
