Tyler’s favorite subject in school is “Oh that’s easy, German in a landslide.” He enjoys the friendships he has made in that class and says “I owe most of my joy at Fossil to Frau Healy, she teaches you not only German but also life skills for outside of the classroom.”

Outside of writing Tyler enjoys spending his time playing either basketball or video games with his family and friends. He is very passionate about sports and enjoys watching almost every sport at all levels. He has two siblings a younger brother Hayden and a twin sister Lauren, who plays on the girls basketball team.
