TYLER, who went from small town life to modeling in New York City shares his successes and future plans from hockey to WWE.
FASTEST GOAL I grew up as a hockey player. I started at age 4, by 17 I left my high school team and went on my own to midgets traveling around the country. I was VERY into hockey. I hold a state record for high school, fastest goal into a game, 6 seconds ... ya i know I`m pretty amazing, haha just kidding!
TINY GARAGE Most people know me as the BIG, TOUGH guy, but i wasnt always that way. I was always pushed around, beat up, and made fun of. I was the smallest guy ever. When i turned 15 heading into sophmore year, that summer i was pulled aside by a hockey coach who saw more in me, we started working out 2-3 hours a day, running, biking, shooting hockey pucks, and lifting weights in a tiny garage. we joke about the garage workouts now.
BACK ON SKATES My last year in hockey I had knee problems, I tore my acl and miniscus, TWICE. I had surgery to fix it, and then it went bad. I just recently had the 2nd surgery and havent played since then due to how serious and recent that injury is. Can`t wait to get back on skates.
ON MODELING I just really wanted to get out in the world and become somebody. I wanted to try make a name for myself and becoming a model in NYC was something I always wanted to try, I never did think i could actually do it, expecially on New York.
RUSH AND RELIEF Getting brought onto board with a TOP agency, it was just a rush and relief having the small town lifestyle I came from doing it on my own. That day I called all my friends and family, one of the best days ever for me. Also my agent getting me my first modeling job, he is just awesome, it was Abercrombie and Fitch. I mean when you are a teenager, who doesnt dream of being one of them guys or girls, haha.
TIPS FOR MODELS Just never give up. You can seriously do anything if you work hard enough at it. whether its your first attempt or your hundredth, hard work and dedication pays off. The best part about anything in life is having fun, so make sure you have fun with it.
SECRET TO GREAT BOD I seriously bust my ass, it dont matter whether I throw up, black out, pass out or sweat my ass off I make sure I get my workout in. But thats the easy part, its the eating that will get you, I eat very good. I cook my own meals. i go though a lot of food. you gotta eat if you want to see change. anyone can go workout for an hour a day, but if you eat right you will be satisfied.
INSPIRED BY DAD My dad, he`s the one who always kept on me through anything. he is so motivating, he is one of those guys who will tell you a story or give you a pep talk and you will be shaking to go do something , you will just have an adrenaline rush. He Taught me hard work beats talent anyday. `
DOING BETTER He would tell me that no matter what im doing or what i wanna do, that I should work my ass off to be the best. No matter how good i did at something he would tell me I had more , or that I could do better, I loved that about him, I never understood when I was younger, but now I do. He is the Best Dad I could have.
A WWE FUTURE! I want to continue modeling because I love how fun it is and the amazing people I have met doing it. But I wanna follow my dreams. I`ve always wanted to get into the WWE wrestling, right now I'm currently trying to gain weight and doing conditioning on my knee so I can look further into it.
GET YOU TO LAUGHI am a down to earth, all american, very motivating person. You will rarely see me frown. I`m always laughin or smiling if you meet me, no matter what i will get you to laugh whether I have to do something stupid or tell you a joke haha...
HUGE INTO CARS Well obviously i love working out, haha, I love watching wrestling in particular John Cena, he is my role model, hockey is a huge part in my life, ufc, I also love poker, and cars. I`m huge into carsi I have a 700 horsepower 1995 trans am and a 2005 dodge ram 2500 cummins. i am so addicted to speed and modifying my vehicles.
