Tyler was born and raised in Southern Wisconsin, where he grew up running through the woods with his friends, eating bar pizzas, drinking root beer and playing pool. His mother was a bartender in Muskego, and his early cultural influences were country music, pickup trucks and cowboy boots. He loved to imitate Garth Brooks, standing in front of the jukebox with his plastic baseball bat, pretending that it was his guitar.

As a teen, he moved from pretend to the real thing, writing his own music and performing for friends and family, and anyone else who would listen. In high school, Tyler joined the ROTC, and then chose to enlist in the United States Marines upon graduation in 2007.
