Tyler was voted in as the Senior Pastor at Woodward Avenue Baptist in April 2023. He had previously served at churches in northeast Alabama and most recently in Irving, Texas prior to transitioning to Muscle Shoals to serve at Woodward Avenue Baptist Church. Tyler is a graduate of Jacksonville State University with a BSE in Secondary Education and History. From there, he went on to graduate from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and completed his Master of Divinity (MDiv).

Tyler takes pride in being a product of the local church, beginning his preaching ministry at the age of 17 as he was trained by local church members and pastors. His prayer is that Woodward Avenue Baptist becomes an equipping center for Christians as they live out their faith in the Shoals and beyond.

Tyler married his high school sweetheart, Ryann, in 2016. They are the parents of Brooks and Jaxon. Tyler loves spending time with his family. During his free time, you will probably find him playing at the park with his boys, at various disc golf courses throughout the Shoals, lifting weights, or running. He is an avid fan of the Atlanta Braves and Auburn sports, as well as enjoying a good cup of coffee.
