Tyler picked up a glove at five years old and played the game through high school. His stepdad coached him from the very beginning, teaching him lessons that reached far beyond the diamond: play with integrity, never give up until the final out, and remember that the best teams succeed because they put the team above themselves.
Those lessons became the foundation of Tyler’s life.
Years later, Tyler returned to the game as a youth baseball coach, mentoring young players and helping them build confidence, discipline, and character. Whether on the field or in the dugout, he believes every child deserves adults who invest in them, challenge them, and show them what leadership looks like.
Born in Houston, Tyler spent part of his childhood in Los Angeles before returning home to attend Texas Southern University, where he earned a degree in Political Science. His journey taught him the importance of hard work, resilience, and staying connected to the communities that shape us.
Tyler’s commitment to service is also deeply personal. After experiencing the loss of loved ones to gun violence, he dedicated his career to bringing people together to make communities safer. Rather than accepting division, he has built relationships across the political aisle, working with survivors, law enforcement, faith leaders, and elected officials to find practical solutions that put families first.
Rooted in faith, family, and service, Tyler believes leadership begins with listening. He knows that lasting progress isn’t built by shouting the loudest—it’s built the same way winning baseball teams are: by earning trust, respecting every role, and working together toward a common goal.
Today, Tyler is running for State Representative because he believes every Texas family deserves the chance to succeed. He wants every child to have the same opportunities he had to learn, grow, and dream big, and he’ll bring the teamwork, perseverance, and leadership that have guided him since he first stepped onto a baseball field.
