I was born in Seattle, WA but grew up all over the country; I went to high school in Lake Nona, FL. I grew up playing soccer, competing in gymnastics, and dabbled in cheerleading and cross country before starting rowing in high school. I committed to row for the University of Washington and won the Pac 12 championships in my second year. After 2 years of rowing at UW, I decided to switch to the rugby team. I will continue to play rugby for the Seattle Rugby Club now that I have graduated. Outside of school and work I enjoy reading, writing, and spending time with my friends and family. I have spent the past two years coaching a local high school girls’ rowing team where I found my passion for helping others and developing athletes. After experiencing a shoulder injury in rugby, I went through PT which sparked my interest and passion for the field of work. With a BS in psychology and minor in chemistry, I plan to use this base knowledge to pursue a DPT in the following years!

Tyler grew up in Bellingham, Washington where he attended Sehome High School. Growing up playing a multitude of sports, he ultimately settled on baseball and football in high school.Dealing with obesity growing up, he was constantly in and out of PT clinics for various injuries he sustained while participating in athletics.

He knew that when he was grown up, he wanted the opportunity to give others the relief and support that physical therapy was able to grant him and is passionate about the empathetic side of physical therapy just as much as the rehabilitation side. After graduating high school, Tyler attended Arizona State University. He returned to the Pacific Northwest and transferred to the University of Washington during the COVID-19 pandemic to work towards obtaining his Bachelors of Science in Public Health, which he will earn in Spring of 2023. He plans to attend school and become a DPT in the near future, and hopes to one day open up a clinic of his own. In his free time, you can find Tyler playing video games, working out, or writing.
