Fun Facts about Tyler: This has been the best year of his career and also the most trying. He went through the typical slumps of not winning just like other contestants. What is remarkable is his comeback. After a really slow “Cowboy Christmas,” Tyler and his team roping partner Wesley Thorp won over $30,000 in 10 days in July. They continued and roping with a world champion has Tyler on track to get a gold buckle of his own. His wife, Jessi, trains barrel racing horses. His parents are contractors, so rodeo is truly a family affair. Tyler and Jessi have a son Weston who is looking forward to the birth of his baby sister in March.
