Tyler completed Basic Officer Training with the Canadian Forces in 1992, leaving the military after his first year at the Royal Military College. Next came twelve years as a personal trainer, operating out of his studio in Toronto’s Yorkville neighbourhood. There, Tyler trained a cast of clients interesting enough to sustain their own book series.

Tyler fell in love with writing in the third grade, but it wasn’t until the age of 30 that he started down the ten year path that would bring Lucas Kell to life.

Tyler currently works as senior administrator, spending his spare time reading, writing, playing with his children and competing in triathlons.

Tyler lives in Burlington, Ontario with his lovely wife and two children.
