The focus of the ad is Coca-Cola being the “proud sponsor” of meaningful moments we have and s...

               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 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 Summe...
