About

Thirteen years ago I started a podcast that helped me understand my passion for digital marketing.

Back then I was a sophomore in college at Cal State Fullerton, University seeking my Bachelor’s degree. I was an avid fan of Mixed Martial Arts and followed the sport closely. I interviewed fighters and would record our conversations. It became a hobby of mine to create the content and I learned how to optimize it for dissemination and consumption.

This enthusiasm I have for digital marketing helped me turn the podcast into a website and generate a revenue stream.

During my senior year I moved on from podcasting to creating videos. A couple of my videos had gone viral on YouTube and I used the money I received from advertisement revenue sharing with Google to pay for my tuition.

Instead of finding an investor, I found a spouse. She nudged me into applying for a digital marketing role at TRAFFIK, a local advertising agency in Orange County. I was immediately challenged with coming up with social media marketing campaigns for multiple different types of clients, including many in highly-regulated industries.

Going from extreme-sports content marketing to healthcare social media marketing was a big change. Having to work with compliance helped me grow professionally and prepare me for the role I had at Pacific Life Insurance Company.

After five years of working for the whale, I was recruited by ChargeTech to take the helm of their marketing department. During my time with ChargeTech I helped turn website sales from red to green and generated profits for the company month-over-month. Before I could keep the momentum going, I was extended an offer to return to a previous employer as the Vice President of Marketing and Sales. It was this same employer that I was working with when I started the podcast.

I’m currently the Senior Vice President of Marketing for Crew Enterprises and the Vice President of Marketing for Book & Ladder. Crew is a private real estate equity firm specializing in student and multifamily housing. Book & Ladder is a property management company that manages over 25 properties across the United States with over 200 employees.

I am still an avid MMA fan. đź‘Š

It’s rare that you come across a diligent, hard-working and skilled talent such as Tyler. I had the pleasure of working with Tyler for a year and a half at TRAFFIK, where he helped to educate me on all things social media, YouTube, blogging, SEO, and analytics.

Tyler has the ability to handle multiple projects for clients ranging in all different industries. He was a true asset to our team and liked by all. As a fellow colleague, I would highly recommend Tyler as anyone would be lucky to have him on their team!

He is always the first person to volunteer his services and talents, and is constantly thinking of new ways to helps his clients. At TRAFFIK he has sole responsibility for nearly all our social media clients.

He also realizes the importance in professional growth, and is an earnest learner and has picked up tricks in programming, SEO and graphic design. I highly recommend Tyler for any of his future pursuits, without hesitation.
