Tyler, 25, was raised in Tucson and moved to California in 2007 to begin a broadcast career, majoring in Multi-Media Journalism at Chapman University. He worked at K-EARTH 101, HOT 92.3, and KIIS FM in Los Angeles before accepting the job as night personality on 93.7 KCLB in Palm Springs. Later, he moved to afternoons on Crush 1039 and could also been seen on a recurring segment called Weekly Buzz on the CBS Local 2 morning show in Palm Springs. In 2012, Tyler followed a dream and moved to Laguna Beach to found a non-commercial radio station called KX 93.5. He hired a small staff and dozens of volunteers and launched Laguna's Only FM on Oct. 15, for which he recently won the Community Hero award of Laguna Beach. Now, in addition to managing the station, he wakes up before the sunrises to bring you a local, community, grassroots morning program on KX 93.5. He is also the host of web series Countdown Syndrome, where he shares his snarky knowledge of music on camera.
