About Our Guest:
Tyler Erickson is a Nashville native business owner with a deep passion for clarifying why businesses need websites. MMELEVATED is still in its infantile stage, just passing the 4-month mark, but we are fired up and ready to hit the Nashville market hard!
He was born on January 29th, 2001, in St.Paul, Minnesota. His parents moved down here a few years later, in 2006. His father, Daniel Erickson, took a chance on country music and had the opportunity to travel, but made the fatherly decision to stay and support his family instead of pursuing his passion.
Tyler grew up as the “fat and nerdy kid.” Making youtube channels, playing too many video games, and building robots. With a peak weight of 265 lbs, he knew he had to change his lifestyle. He started dieting and working out. And managed to lose 75 lbs.
After graduating high school, he went to Nashville state community college for mechanical engineering. After one semester, he knew “this is not for me,” dropped out, and launched straight into the workforce.
He was a security technician for a little over a year, then moved to a corporate IT/Marketing job at Fidelity National Financial. He ran live events, set up the tech, and ran email marketing campaigns for FNF.
After a year and 3 months in the corporate rat race, he decided to take a chance and start his own business with his FNF escape-ee Isaac Hite.
Since February of 2023, Tyler has had his nose to the grindstone and shows no signs of slowing down.
