Tyler worked for eight years as a corporate banker before being hired as the first model on the Naked News program, where he strips to full nudity while reading news stories. He has worked for the internet based show since 2001 and has since become a director and producer for the program as well. Tyler also pursued a career in runway modeling and physique modeling, appearing in several runway shows and in several bodybuilding magazines. At one point he had a high-tech website (archived) devoted to his career pursuits and featuring fashion spreads and portfolio examples. As of November 2005 the URL simply redirects to the Naked News website.
