Tyler then went on to study with Tim Horner and Mark Sherman at New Jersey City University. While living in New Jersey he began performing with his own groups in numerous NYC venues. He later transferred to Penn State University, where his musical growth continued through the instruction and guidance of Ian Froman, David Liebman, Bill Goodwin, and Adam Nussbaum to name a few.
Tyler has performed with many great artists including but not limited to: David
Liebman, Bob Dorough, Chase Baird, Joe Magnarelli, Joe Locke, Billy Test, Matt
Vashlishan, Clarence Spady, Jon Ballantyne, Adam Niewood, Tony Marino, Jim Ridl, Nate Birkey, Bill Washer, Ron Oswanski, and Porter & Sayles. In 2013-14, Tyler had the opportunity to play with the Jesse Lynch Trio on their nation-wide Jazz 101 educational tour.
