After attending the University of Washington for two years, Tyler transferred to the University of Montana and graduated in 2011 with honors.

After his time in Houston, Tyler attended the Gonzaga University School of Law, and received his Juris Doctorate in December 2015. He is admitted to practice law in Montana state courts, the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Tyler works in a variety of practice areas including complex litigation, insurance defense, construction litigation, professional negligence, insurance coverage, real estate transactions, and several other areas of law.
