After being a college athlete, Tyler continued his academic endeavors and received his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine in Science. Since then, Tyler has worked exclusively in outpatient physical therapy, and has specialized in gymnastics related injuries and rehabilitation. Movement has always been important to Tyler so after his gymnastics career ended, he was still looking for ways to move. This passion for movement led Tyler to the sport of Ninja Warrior. Tyler has competed on American Ninja Warrior where he has made it as far as Stage Two in Vegas. While being an athlete has and is a big part of Tyler's life, he also is a husband and father and continuing to work on his own business practice.
