               My name is Tyler, I was born and raised in Oregon for the first 19 years of my life where I lived in Philomath Oregon. Upon graduating from Philomath High School, I joined the Marine Corps where I spent the next 4 years of my life on Camp Pendleton in Southern California. I did one tour to Afghanistan in 2012 where I did multiple convoys resupplying forward operating bases (FOBs) for multiple months. I moved back to Oregon in 2015 once my military contract was up. I spent a year in Beaverton and attended Portland Community College (PCC) at the Rock Creek Campus for one year taking general education classes. I was a store manager for a year at a shoe store before moving to an environmental hazmat emergency responds company between 2020 and 2023. After those three years I decided to come back to LBCC to work towards a BA in Practical Business Management.                During the Summer months I try to be outdoors as much as possible. I have even hiked over 500 miles of th
