His mother, a German Romani classic film collector, and his father, an Irish Italian-American rock and roll singer, instilled in him a love for the arts.

He started off working in the Locations and Set PA departments for the Directors Guild of Canada union on Tier-A films and TV shows where he was able to observe some of Hollywoods true great actors and filmmakers. After signing with Hero Artists Agency (Toronto / Vancouver / NY) his first credits came from his driving background in Pro-am Drifting (DMCC) and as an Audi Sport Specialist (Audi AG), shooting car commercials and chase scenes as a precision driver before finding a home in front of the camera as a dramatic actor. Tyler’s fist-ever professional credit was the stunt driver and body double for Grant Bowler in a green-screen car chase in the pilot episode of Defiance on SyFy. He has since established himself as an indie writer/producer specializing in car chases and car centric content for film and TV via his production company Driven Pictures, but his man focus remains acting.
