TYLER HAS BEEN TOURING SINCE 2006. HE IS A DEDICATED AND PASSIONATE FRONT OF HOUSE ENGINEER, AND HAS WORN MANY HATS THROUGH THE YEARS, BOTH ON AND OFF THE ROAD.

Tyler started out touring with jazz/fusion legends Steve Smith (Journey), Tom Coster (Santana), Simon Phillips (Toto), and Hiromi (Hiromi Trio Project). During these tours he has acted as FOH engineer, monitor engineer, drum tech, driver, and has even sold some merchandise.

In Denver he has had the honor of managing and engineering at Side 3 Studios since 2007. He also balances a professional relationship with Arapahoe Community College teaching/designing the live sound course and acting as a consultant for the audio program.

In 2016 he started FOH relationships with The Floozies, and dirty-blues/rock duo Little Hurricane. 2017 has panned out to be 9 months of straight touring, reaching 3 continents and almost every state in USA. The bulk of that work consists of being tour manager and FOH engineer for world renowned virtuoso pianist Hiromi.

Tyler feels happiest behind the board providing inspiring sounding mixes to concert goers.
