Hi, I’m Tyler!
I first left abroad on my own at the age of 15 to perform with an orchestra in Italy. After I came back to my home town in Texas, I found myself completely obsessed with the idea of traveling the world.
I was told by many that the idea wasn’t realistic nor obtainable. So, I went to University as instructed by society. During my time there, I enrolled in every study-abroad option possible, taking me to locations such as Russia, Germany, Poland, and more. It still wasn’t enough though, so I decided to take up working abroad as a teacher.
After living in Thailand teaching English and math for nearly nine months, I realized that I craved something opposite of stability and stationary living; I wanted to see the world and everything that it has to offer on my own terms. As I experienced this inspiring revelation, however, the pandemic raged on, boarders shut down, and travel ceased to exist.
So, I g̶a̶v̶e̶ u̶p̶
SOLD MY THINGS, PACKED A BAG, AND SET OUT FOR THE ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME.
I have been traveling ever since.
At the start of my travels, I obsessively dove into a new hobby: photography. I purchased my first drone in attempts to utilize the newfound free time forced upon by the pandemic. Fast forward three years later where I *found myself in the top 1% of global Drone pilots in terms of flight time, distance flown, and Geographical variation.
This is the direct result of 400+ hours of collective flight time, dozens of collaborations, and a multitude of both commissioned and self-motivated projects spanning over 30+ countries.
*Per DJI's annually released public records of registered drone operators.
My name is Tyler and I'm a "Nomad with a Camera."
