TYLER’S LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY

“Most of my life has revolved around competition, from school to sports. As a leader, I am drawn to teamwork and being a part of the team, all while learning from my teammates and helping to further develop their skillsets and my own along the way. One of those lessons, taken from a mentor, is that teams are most successful when they adopt the “Better” attitude; we must be better today than yesterday and better tomorrow than today. Everyday is a learning opportunity, we will not strive for perfection, but for progress.” By leading, learning, coaching, teaching, and implementing these lessons, Tyler has successfully led teams throughout his life and career.
