​
Tyler brings a strong background in wildlife management and conservation through both his education and professional experience. He has worked with several respected conservation organizations, including the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission, the Pennsylvania Game Commission, the Northumberland County Conservation District, and the Student Conservation Association in partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR). Through these roles, he gained valuable experience in habitat management, conservation practices, and natural resource stewardship across Pennsylvania.
​
A lifelong outdoorsman, Tyler is an avid hunter and trapper who enjoys sharing his knowledge of wildlife and habitat management with family, friends, and fellow landowners. His family owns and manages approximately 500 acres of mountain property, which has been carefully stewarded to balance wildlife habitat improvement and sustainable timber management.
​
Tyler has a particular passion for improving habitat for both small and big game species, with a strong focus on white-tailed deer management. He is an active member of the National Deer Association (NDA) and practices Quality Deer Management (QDM) principles on his family’s property. In addition to managing his own land, he has assisted private landowners in achieving their wildlife and habitat management goals.
​
His management strategies include habitat improvement, food plot development, mineral site management, and maintaining balanced buck-to-doe ratios. Tyler also emphasizes predator management as part of a comprehensive approach to wildlife conservation. Introduced to trapping by his grandfather at a young age, he has developed particular success in managing coyote populations, one of the primary predators impacting white-tailed deer.
​
Through his work and passion for the outdoors, Tyler remains committed to improving wildlife habitat and conservation outcomes across Pennsylvania—one property and one landowner at a time.
