Tyler David Holland Written by Jenny Tyler grew up in Portola Valley, CA and is one of four siblings. Tyler had some neat experiences while growing up: his family lived in Scotland for 2 years and traveled all around Europe, he traveled to some cool places for AAU basketball, spent summers at Fallen Leaf Lake near Lake Tahoe, and fell in love with playing sports. Tyler attended Sacred Heart Preparatory for high school. He excelled athletically and played football and basketball for four years. When it came time to pick colleges, Tyler had many options to play football or basketball and ended up choosing UCLA. At UCLA, Tyler played football all four years and was a Political Science major. The football team did well making it to 4 bowl games and upsetting USC to knock them out of the national championship game his junior year. Besides majoring in Political Science, Tyler also minored in "nap taking" and was frequently found asleep. He was given the nickname "Big Puma" by Nick Vallarino, Tyler's long-time friend, at first because he reminded Nick of Lance Berkman. However, the name stuck because Tyler had "cat-like features." For one, Tyler would nap any chance he got. Two when he decided to move he was very quick. Three when he sneezed he looked like a cat! After graduating from UCLA, Tyler moved back to NorCal and interned for Ladera Capital and coached football at Sacred Heart. After finishing the season, Tyler joined Triage Consulting and is still there today. Tyler moved up to San Francisco to live with two of our friends, Matt and Fab, and has been enjoying their bachelor pad! Tyler is a die-hard sports fan, loves to grill, is fiercely competitive, loves to wakeboard at Fallen Leaf Lake and hang out with friends. |
