On this special Inauguration Day episode timed expertly for the swearing-in of Joe Biden & Kamala Harris, my guest, Tyler, is literally my oldest friend on the planet. Instead of giving you the typical summary I normally would... Here is his self-written bio (that I asked him for), which is arguably better than anything I could have come up with on my own:

"Tyler is probably best known for having been friends with Kenny Bostick since the two were in diapers. On the professional front, Tyler is a lawyer and policy professional. This walking enigma claims to mistrust the government, but has spent his whole career in public service. Tyler is currently special counsel to a federal commission where he deals with elections policy and a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army. He began his career as an assistant attorney general with the Ohio Attorney General’s office, worked as legal counsel and policy advisor to two speakers of the Ohio House of Representatives, and served in the administration of the governor of Ohio as an attorney in the state budget office. All this job hopping has made Tyler a classic jack of all trades, master of none."
