Whether he's making his audience laugh with comedic storytelling or sharing heartfelt reflections on life in an inter-abled relationship with his wife, Maria, Tyler creates content that fosters connection and understanding.
Beyond his online presence, Tyler has partnered with major brands like MTV and CashApp, infusing their campaigns with his fresh, inclusive perspective. Through his work, he redefines what it means to show up unapologetically as yourself in a world that often overlooks the beauty of difference.
