Tyler was a member of the Piper High School wrestling team from 1997 to 2001.

During his junior season, he lost part of his leg in an auto accident. He made it his goal to come back and wrestle his senior year. He did so with great success.

He planned to become a mentor and role model for young athletes who faced the challenge of artificial limbs. But on Oct. 4, 2006, Tyler lost his life at the hand of a drunken driver.

A scholarship was established in his memory and is given annually to a Piper senior wrestler who demonstrates qualities of courage, strength and character.
