    The Early Days

     

    In November of 1990, at the age of 14, Tyler’s friend Curtis was murdered while he was sexually assaulted, his throat slit, set on fire and left to die by the same attacker. After years of surgical procedures, including skin grafting, Tyler was the key witness in the trial which led to the conviction and life sentence of their attacker.

     

    For years he dealt with survivors guilt and unforgiveness, but refused to believe that an event or circumstance could define him. Over the years, he learned to press on make the most of everyday and committed to helping others, believing there was a reason he was still here.

     

    Featured on the Biography Channel’s acclaimed series - “I Survived”, as well as the latest full feature Documentary "Altona", Tyler tells the compelling story of visiting the man who tried to kill him in prison and finding peace and purpose in life through exploring mental wellness and a journey of forgiveness.

     

    Over 30 years have passed since the attack on Curtis & Tyler, and after serving a life sentence, the high school boy who attacked them that night has since been released from prison.

     

    Over all those years, Tyler has developed a genuine curiosity about understanding mental health & well-being, and continues to grow and explore how we can all live a life to the full everyday.
