About Me
Tyler started building websites in 2012 when a friend asked him to set up a blog. That first WordPress install turned into a decade-long career spanning freelance work, agency development, and online education. He has built sites for everyone from local bakeries to funded startups, and he still gets a kick out of seeing someone launch their first project. These days he splits his time between client development work and creating courses that teach people the practical side of WordPress.
In his courses, Tyler focuses on what actually works. No filler, no theory without application. Students build real sites, write real code, and walk away knowing how to pitch clients, price projects, and turn WordPress skills into income. He teaches the way he wished someone had taught him when he was starting out, breaking down technical concepts into plain language and always tying lessons back to real business outcomes.
