Biography
From interactive design to local search
Tyler was born on August 1, 1998, in Naperville, Illinois. He moved to Marietta in 2003 and grew up in Cobb County. After graduating from Kell High School, he earned a Bachelor of Science in Interactive Design from Kennesaw State University in 2020, where he developed the UI and UX foundation behind his work today.
His path to agency ownership also included manufacturing, software consulting, and door-to-door roofing sales. That mix gave him a practical understanding of how local service businesses compete for attention, earn trust, and turn a lead into a booked job.
After more than seven years of hands-on work in web design and SEO, Tyler founded Hennhouse in January 2025. His work brings design, search strategy, and local entity alignment together so a business looks credible to customers and is clearly understood by search engines.
Tyler also founded The Roofer Finder and Willow & Thread. Willow & Thread is no longer actively operated; Hennhouse is his current primary company.
Outside of work, Tyler enjoys playing pool, listening to music, watching movies, soccer, and seeking out good food from different cultures. He speaks Portuguese at a near-fluent conversational level and Spanish at an upper-intermediate level.
