Tyler Christensen

Tyler helps students and teachers identify their strengths, create their stories, overcome mediocrity, and transform their lives.

As a teacher Tyler has spent 15 years in classrooms as an elementary, middle school, and university instructor. His passion for literacy, the development of 21st century skills, and college preparation has led to various speaking engagements across the country. He is the founder of a national recruiting service for student-athletes (D1 Recruiting) as well as an academic journal for those preparing to teach (The Journal on Best Teaching Practices).

Tyler is also the founder of Tanager Media, a small web design firm that helps others live their dreams. He currently has a number of celebrity clients including Sage Brocklebank (actor, Psych), Kyle Collinsworth (professional basketball player), and Patrick Sabongui (actor, The Flash).

Part of Tyler's own transformation story includes losing 100 pounds and going from not being able to run a full mile in 2018 to completing multiple marathons and a 52.4 double marathon in 2019. Tyler shares what he's learned about health and fitness on his website and podcast After the Run (www.aftertherun.com).

When he's not working on his businesses or training for a race Tyler is doing his most important work--spending time with his incredible wife and four amazing kids.
