Becoming SMAD’s technology manager was a return to Tyler’s roots, having graduated from SMAD with a concentration in Digital Video and Cinema in 2017. Before that, Tyler was in just about every production situation and role you can think of, including engineering a television station and serving as a stagehand. He served as Video Operations Coordinator for the City of Chesapeake, where he oversaw the live and recorded broadcasts and streams of city meetings and other content. He previously worked as a lead audio/video technician for Elite Audio + Visual Elements in Chesapeake. Between freelancing and his various jobs in production, Tyler has gained experience with all types of cameras, audio, lighting, studio, and other production equipment.
