Since then, Tyler has been fortunate to hunt and fish all across the great state of Pennsylvania. Now, he shares his passion for the outdoors as a successful freelance writer for various local, state, and national publications. He teaches fulltime in Lebanon County, where he resides with an understanding wife, inquisitive son and energetic bird dog.
