Rider Bio

Tyler began riding dirt bikes at age two, and his passion for motorcycles continues today. He raced motocross off and on throughout his adolescent years, and purchased his first street bike at the age of 16. Living in Florida at the time, he learned the basics of street riding and used his bike for commuting and general point A to B travel. At the age of 18, after a relocation to east Tennessee, he discovered the world of sport riding. With the help of the locals and an environment providing many challenges, Tyler was able to develop his riding abilities quickly. At the age of 19, street riding was not satisfying enough, and he began to investigate the world of track riding. After his first weekend at Talladega, he was hooked. He attended track days whenever funds would allow. At the end of 2007, Tyler attended his first race weekend with WERA and discovered where he truly wanted to be -- racing competitively. As the 2008 season get under way, Tyler is very optimistic about the season, and with the help and generosity of his friends and sponsors, he is finally able to make a charge for a WERA championship.
