Tyler was born on a small dairy farm in southeast Pennsylvania. His commitment to the dairy industry was inspired by his parents and grandparents. The fundamentals of livestock husbandry and stewardship were instilled in him from a young age while working alongside his grandfather on the dairy. A combination of Tyler’s passion for caring for livestock and science, drove him to seek higher education in the field of animal science.

 

Tyler graduated from Texas Tech University in 2019 where he earned his bachelor's degree in animal science along with a minor in chemistry. A deeper understanding of energy utilization and ruminant nutrition brought him to the University of California, Davis where he earned his master’s degree in animal biology. Tyler currently resides in Tulare, California and works as a ruminant nutritionist and management consultant for EDGE Dairy Consulting and services dairies located in the central valley. Tyler’s lifelong goal is to be of service to his community, and the dairy industry as whole.
