Almost one year later to the day, he was promoted to Assistant Shift Supervisor where he provided direct supervision of up to 18 Juvenile Detention Staff. While serving in the role of Assistant Shift Supervisor, Tyler completed the Dale Carnegie Course in Effective Communication and Human Relation and has participated in numerous trainings both, statewide and nationally, ranging from early childhood development to human sex trafficking.

Although Tyler’s position and responsibilities within the agency have changed significantly, from when he first began his career with FPJDC, his passion for helping at-risk youth is still the same. He still regularly interacts with the resident; by participating in structured activities, checking up on their behaviors, and inspiring positive change within them.
