Tyler Jayden Whitlock was born in Pierre, South Dakota. Tyler spent the first two years of his life there, then moved to Madison. Tyler is a younger brother to Zach and son to Michele and Dan Whitlock. Tyler’s favorite food is pizza, and he enjoys watching football. Something that comes easily to him is hands-on activities. Rambo is the character that Tyler would choose to play because he loves to hunt.
Tyler works for Kesteloot Excavation doing construction. He runs machines and the most rewarding part of his job is the paycheck. Tyler spends his free time hunting and fishing. He has shot over 10 deer in his career. Something that he can’t live without is his yellow lab, Ember, because she retrieves his birds and is his best friend. Tyler’s favorite subject is anything in the agriculture field. He enjoys learning about all things agriculture. Tyler recommends that everyone should go camping. He says, “It is peaceful and relaxing, and hunting and fishing are a good time there”. If he could have any superpower he would choose to be invisible. If given five million dollars, Tyler would spend it on a boat, an ice shack, decoys, and a house. If Tyler had a YouTube channel, his content would include waterfowl hunting. One thing that scares Tyler is death.
If given the opportunity, Tyler would like to live in Alaska for an entire year. He prefers Alaska because hunting and fishing would be fun there. On Tyler’s bucket list, one would find a nice house, a dog, and possibly a family. When Tyler graduates from high school he would like to find an apprenticeship to become an electrician. In 10 years he sees himself hunting, fishing, and starting a family. When Tyler gets older, he would like to live in Watertown, South Dakota, because he believes that hunting and fishing is better there. Tyler’s advice to underclassmen is to “do your work and not to take things too seriously.”
