He is the National Coordinator of a life insurance company that serves our nation’s heroes- First Responders. A year ago, Tyler began documenting his life on social media as a way to “pay it forward” and provide value with zero expectation of anything in return. in 12 months, he has taken his social media presence from zero to a weekly reach of 50million people. Tyler spends 200+ nights one the road each year, but enjoys living in downtown Greenville, SC.
