WHO IS THIS GUY?

A Bay Area native, Tyler fell in love with performing in his early years. Once he played the not-so-starring role of “Slim” in his high school’s production of Oklahoma! in the 9th grade, he never looked back. Tyler graduated from the University of Southern California in 2020 (yes, 2020) with a major in Theatre and a minor in Marketing. He currently splits his time between New York and Los Angeles, balancing a life of comedy content creation, writing, and acting for both stage and screen.

He has been lucky enough to work on a few exciting film/TV projects in the last couple years, including co-star spots in the first season of HBO Max’s THE SEX LIVES OF COLLEGE GIRLS and Netflix’s THAT ‘90S SHOW. Tyler recently collaborated with Neal Mulani on his next short film, RAT!, after working together on TELL ME SOMETHING I DON’T KNOW (which you can stream HERE). RAT! is almost completely finished, and Tyler can’t wait for you to see it. In the meantime, you can catch him in a series of ads for H&R Block (yay taxes!) HERE. Tyler also co-wrote and starred in the upcoming short film CO-STAR, which is currently in post-production. To learn more about that, check out our Seed&Spark page!

In July of 2023, he performed his first solo show TYLER’S QUARTER-LIFE CRISIS at the Midnight Theatre to a sold out audience. He’s currently working on his next one, so… stay tuned.

In between projects, you can find Tyler goofing around on social media, with content on TikTok (320k+ followers), Instagram (65k+ followers), and Snapchat (95k+ subscribers). You may also spot him interviewing folks at various press events in the New York area. In previous years, he has worked for actor Alan Cumming, New York Musical Theatre Festival, and Walt Disney Studios in their field marketing department. He wears many hats, but does anyone still wear a hat?
