We met up with Tyler at the Beast of the East contest way earlier this year. Tyler isn't safe for work unless he's working at your school, in which case he's moderately safe for a work environment, like heavy machinery.

Tyler owns Recess Intl, and is a good guy. We like Tyler, he's a real good guy.
