Growing up, Tyler and his family always had a strong affinity for water sports and spending time at the lake. Tyler discovered his passion for wake surfing at the age of 13 and subsequently participated in local wake surf events during the following summers. By 2020, he had progressed to the professional division and collaborated with Kanuk Board Co to launch his own signature board. His debut year as a professional athlete proved to be a remarkable one as he clinched the World Championship title. Since then, Tyler has achieved countless first place podiums and went undefeated through the entire 2022 season to earn his second world title for Pro Men Skim. When he’s not surfing on the Minnesota lakes, you can find him studying at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix.
