At 22 years old, Tyler is living proof that determination is stronger than any physical limitation. Born in New York and raised between Pennsylvania and his current home in Delaware, Tyler has turned unique life challenges into a platform for creativity and inspiration.

​

Overcoming the Odds

Tyler’s journey began with a fight. Born with a condition affecting his left arm, he underwent seven major surgeries at birth. The result left him with the use of only one hand. However, where others might have seen a barrier, Tyler saw a challenge to adapt. He grew up learning that doing things differently didn't mean doing them effectively.

​

The Musician

Music became one of Tyler’s first great loves. He is a multi-talented musician who serves his local community by playing at his church.

• The Drummer: Perhaps the most impressive display of his tenacity is his drumming. Playing an instrument that traditionally requires four limbs he plays with one hand with two drumsticks.Tyler commands the kit with unique technique and soul.

• The Singer: He accompanies his rhythm with his voice, adding another layer to his musical artistry.

 

The Entrepreneur

Beyond music, Tyler is a craftsman. He has channeled his focus into creating his own line of skincare products. Formulating, mixing, and packaging skincare requires patience and precision—tasks he accomplishes entirely at home with one hand. This venture is not just a business; it is a testament to his dexterity and independence.

 

The Mission

Tyler’s ultimate goal on this earth transcends his music or his products. He is driven by a mission to inspire both children and adults living with disabilities. He stands as a reminder that you don't need two hands to be great at what you do; you just need heart, faith, and the will to try.
