Tyler moved to the Minneapolis area in 2016 where he took a break from doing CrossFit for almost 3 years. He moved back to East Grand Forks and picked right back up where he left off. “Coming back to Tundra just feels like home” Tyler has his CrossFit Level 1 and really enjoys being involved in the Tundra community as a coach.
