Raised in the Laurentian Mountains just North of Montreal (Canada), Tyler studied film and video production at both the Vancouver Film School and Columbia Academy as a means to combine his creative and athletic talents. An all-round athlete and action sports enthusiast from a very young age, Tyler spent his winters taking part in ski, then snowboard competitions, becoming one of the first sponsored freestyle snowboarders in Quebec. In the summer Tyler participated in the world of competitive motorsports. His first experience behind the wheel was Kart racing at age 10, which led to cars, ice and then competitive drifting. A born competitor, Tyler claimed podiums in all of these disciplines. Since 1997 he has channeled his passions into a career in stunt performing, working on well over one hundred productions across North America and Asia. Tyler's first international stunt experience was negotiating swordplay and high fall burns in China. He has since worked as a performer and coordinator on some of the most demanding projects to come through the Montreal film scene over the past decade. His experience on the track paved the way to a lead driver position on Death Race and eventually to a Taurus World Stunt Award nomination for his driving work.
