Ministry and service have always been central to Tyler’s life. Before joining Camp Joy full-time, he served for five years as Youth Group Director at Calvary Church at Village Green, launched the church’s Trunk or Treat event, volunteered regularly in the nursery, and led VBS games whenever needed. His blend of recreation, leadership, and ministry made the transition to Camp Joy’s Executive Director, a role he stepped into on November 1, 2023, a natural calling.

Tyler and his family have been part of Camp Joy since 2014, and he previously served on the Camp Joy Board from 2022–2023. He also contributes to governance and strategic planning through board involvement, including past service with Camp Joy and current service with the North Dakota Soccer Association.

Tyler and his wife, Amanda, have been married for 19 years and live in Fargo, ND, with their four children (ages 16, 13, 11, and 8). They attend Salem Evangelical Free Church and cherish time together outdoors. Tyler enjoys a round of golf with friends and will never pass up a quiet evening around a lakeside fire.

Rooted in his passion for mentorship, innovation, faith, and community impact, Tyler is committed to using his experience in nonprofit leadership and ministry to help more youth encounter Jesus and grow in their walk with Him.
