Originally from the prairies of central Illinois, Tyler has been working with the SCA for the better part of 6 years. His initial introduction to outdoor leadership and the world of trail work was as a member on a Pacific Crest Trail team which traveled throughout California doing trail maintenance in some of the most beautiful spots America has to offer. Since that life changing experience Tyler has led numerous national crews, 3 corps teams, and in 2010 was Northwest Program Manager for Corps Trails. He currently serves as Program Manager for the Fish and Wildlife Service Trails Inventory Program based out of the SCA Boise office. Tyler is also an active Leave No Trace Master Educator and SCA Conservation Work Skills Instructor. His belief in the outdoor experience and the potential for SCA to change lives keeps him excited and passionate season after season.
While not in the office you can find Tyler mountain biking, backpacking, climbing, or tending his garden. His time spent working with the SCA over the past years has been full of growth, learning, and great people and he hopes that the future holds more. He has plans to continue his work in trails with the US Forest Service and hopes to get certified as a Wilderness EMT and AMGA Single Pitch Guide in 2012.
