Tyler McCleary, Hamilton’s Citizen of the Year, is a driving force behind the city’s growth, connection, and momentum. As Director of Operations for both COhatch and Eyrie—the city’s newest cocktail bar—Tyler is helping shape not just where people work, but where they gather, celebrate, and connect. From innovative coworking spaces to elevated nightlife experiences, his impact is woven into the fabric of Hamilton’s evolving scene.

What sets Tyler apart isn’t just what he builds—it’s how he shows up. On his days off, you’ll find him with his twins, out in the community, supporting local businesses, attending events, and pouring right back into the city he loves so much. He doesn’t just talk about supporting local—he lives it every single day.

In this episode, we dive into the passion, purpose, and people-first mindset behind Tyler’s work, and why Hamilton continues to thrive because of leaders like him. #whatshotinhamilton
