About Tyler
Recognized locally as “The Banff Guy,” Tyler started with IU Outdoor Adventures (IUOA) in May of 2008 as an Adventure Specialist in IUOA’s old Indiana Memorial Union Shop before becoming a Senior Specialist, Student Trip Leader, Instructor, Assistant Coordinator of Programs, and now Skill Development Coordinator. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Outdoor Recreation and Resource Management through IU’s School of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation (HPER, now School of Public Health). Still, more than anything, he loves teaching others about the outdoors.
Through his current role in skill development, Tyler oversees the training and leadership progression of IUOA’s student Trip Leaders, in addition to supervising the day-to-day operations of our rental and retail shop. These days, if Tyler is not at the office or in the field, you can safely assume he is sitting in a tree stand or on a sailboat with his friends, family, or trusted dog, “Maximus Sparkles.”
