Tyler was born and raised in Campbellsville, Ky.  He started playing golf at an early age and competeted in many local golf tours throughout his young career.  He started playing on his high school golf team in 5th grade, and was a 8 year letterman.  After high school, he chose to attend the University of Kentucky.  While there, he met his wife, who introduced him to the field of Kinesiology. 

 

During this time he started personal training and getting more involved in the fitness world.  While living with current PGA Tour player, J.B. Holmes, he found out about golf specific trainers and the Titleist Performance Institute which was gaining credibility amoung elite golfers.  Tyler decided to put his main focus of fitness into something he loved, golf.  In 2008, he attended his first TPI certification course.  Later that year he graduated from the Kinesiology/Exercise Science program and went on to obtain the next two levels in the TPI program.

 

After a couple of years training in gyms, Tyler was introduced to Matt Killen who is the swing coach for multiple PGA Tour players; Kenny Perry, Josh Teater, and J.B. Holmes.  Tyler started a workout regiment for Teater and later did some work with Holmes in Florida.  This led Matt to see the benifit of specific fitness training for his players, who is also TPI level 1 certified.  Matt then had Tyler come to Bowling Green, Ky to work with him at Olde-Stone to better help all his clients.  While not new to golf, Tyler spent free time learning more about the golf swing from Killen.  After a year of shadowing, Tyler began to teach many players, as well as train them.

​

Currently Tyler has been working with golfers for over 9 years.   He can be found on the lesson tee teaching all skill levels of players, working on his long drive, or in the gym training.
