Director of Fitness

Tyler is a Doctor in Physical Therapy and a TPI certified Medical Level 2 practitioner from St. Charles Missouri. As a dedicated multi-sport athlete from a young age, my passion for sports has always been a driving force in my life. However, it was during my senior year in high school that I discovered my deep-seated love for golf. Over the years, my enthusiasm for the sport has only grown stronger.

The pandemic brought about a unique turning point in my journey. During those challenging times, I made the decision to specialize in golf rehabilitation, inspired by my own experiences as a golfer. This transformation allowed me to channel my energy and expertise into a field I'm genuinely passionate about.

My professional journey has taken me through both inpatient and outpatient orthopedic clinics, granting me invaluable experience across a spectrum of injuries. With a comprehensive understanding of musculoskeletal health and my specialized knowledge gained through my TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) certification, I have been working with golfers to rehabilitate, prevent injury, and improve performance.

My mission is to merge my diverse sports background, in-depth orthopedic knowledge, and a fervent dedication to golf. By conducting thorough physical assessments and tailoring fitness programs, I aim to guide golfers on their path to injury-free, peak performance on the golf course. Together, we'll unlock their full potential and elevate their golfing experience."
