Hey there, I’m Tyler. I grew up in the Bay Area in California. I spent most of my childhood playing football and baseball. I sort of fell into theatre and acting by accident, and then completely fell in love with it. One of my favorite things about what I do is the sense of community that it creates, and I love the found families that it brings.
Artistic Statement
I am addicted to the pursuit of truth. Nothing ignites my spirit more than collaborating with fellow artists to create something expressive, vulnerable, and profoundly honest. Theatre is where I feel most alive because it demands truth in every moment—where human connection is raw and immediate, and where art is not just seen but deeply felt.
My artistry has revealed something deeply personal to me: my sense of self and connection to culture has always been tied to the community that theatre creates. I have an undeniable need to exist in the present moment with others. Theatre gives me that. It is the one space where truth is not just valued but essential—where the full range of human experience is explored with fearless curiosity, and where authenticity is the currency of connection.
A fear of missing out on genuine human moments fuels my passion for this craft. Each performance is an opportunity to uncover truths that might otherwise remain hidden. The thought of moving through life without fully immersing myself in its depth terrifies me. But on stage, I am liberated. I get to live truthfully, over and over again, stepping into perspectives and emotions that expand my understanding of the world.
For years, I wrestled with the expectation of choosing a singular career path, burdened by the idea that one decision would define my entire existence. Acting freed me from that constraint. It allows me to inhabit countless lives, each one revealing new insights, new truths. Through this art form, I embrace the full spectrum of human existence, shedding the fear of missing what truly matters.
I believe that theatre is a living lineage, carried forward in the minds and hearts of those who witness it. I remember vividly, moments when I was profoundly moved by an actor’s performance—when their honesty, their raw expression of truth, became etched into my soul, lingering long after the curtain fell. That power, that resonance, is what drives me. I feel a deep responsibility to strive for the same greatness that once inspired me, to honor the artists who came before me by creating work that ignites something in others. In this way, I see myself as part of an artistic continuum, a seeker of truth who passes the torch to future generations. I believe that as actors and theatre creators, we are stewards of these great works, tasked with keeping their spirit alive, fueling curiosity, and awakening something real in those who watch.
Theatre is both my refuge and my adventure—a space where I am constantly challenged, moved, and transformed. It is a privilege to share these moments with an audience, to invite them into truth, to reflect, connect, and feel. Together, we embark on a journey that reminds us of our shared humanity and the beauty of simply being alive.
Your Gilded Road
Thin ladders climb up to you and tell you how beautiful you are.
Do you see the effect you have on us?
We imitate your radiance with glass houses of ephemerality, fading only when you tell us to. Velvet haze caresses two old hearts enjoying the path you lay for them, reliving every night like this one, connected by cool sweetness and your soft, loving gaze.
When their time to fade comes, on a night like this, they hope to set sail together up the ladders you lay for them.
Climbing up and up your wavy road.
To give a glow of their own.
In the wee small hours of the morning, your gentle bloom fading into forever,
You do not linger,
For you will always return to share your gilded road.

Whenever the Wind Blows
I have a secret, but I am terrified to share it with you. It conducts my consciousness, corrupts my cognizance, and dilutes my declarations. It's a stranger that follows me around every corner and is over every shoulder. It weighs on my heart like an anchor caught on a reef. It devastates me. I am heavy.
It is in my face, in my ear, and over my head. When I'm alone it becomes violent. It screams at me when I look in the mirror and teases me when I'm in the shower. I am reminded of it whenever the wind blows, like a shrill alarm it wakes me from the serenity I surrendered myself to and whips me back into its presence. An endless torment.
People say, "It's no big deal, no one can see, why do you feel? Just let it be." They just can't see that it's a part of me. I would give anything to change it. Anything. An arm, a leg, my car, I beg. It frightens me. I want to be strong but I can't. I want to forget but I won't. It curses me. And it will never leave. I wish I had the courage to face it but I don't.
Not today.
