After separating from the Air Force in 2021, Tyler transitioned into business aviation as Chief Pilot and Aircraft Manager for a Part 91 flight department in Arkansas.

Tyler currently serves on the NBAA Domestic Operations Committee and is an active member of the working group for NBAA’s Military Connect program, where he continues to support the transition of military aviators into civilian and business aviation roles.
