'Tyler' is Tyler Adams.

Tyler hails from and lives in Seattle, Washington, by way of Garfield High School, followed by Goucher College, and is now the Online Community Moderator at Newsvine. 

A writer since forever, he's worked for South Seattle Star, Social Justice Fund NW, and Baltimore City Paper, among others. He edits everything he reads in his head. He doesn't read out loud enough, though, and will often mispronounce simple words, making him look dumb.

He's in a hip-hop band called Optional 2, after being in a ton of other musical projects. He writes a song a day [well, at least a verse]. He will outrap you.

After several lessons learned, he understands the nature of the internet, and therefore 1) tries not to be mean if it's not called for, and 2) doesn't really care if you check out his facebook page and all the semi-incriminating pictures on it. 

He really, really likes blogging and is always trying to update more often.

He is a bit uncomfortable writing in the third person.
