Tyler first joined the AwardWallet team in July 2023 as a freelance writer before joining the team full-time as of December 2023. He was first truly captivated by points and miles in 2019 while a student at NC State University, as they allowed him to chase his travel ambition while on a college budget.

When he’s not working or spending time with family, you can find Tyler surfing, planning another trip, or scheming his future ascent up Aconcagua in Mendoza, Argentina.
