Anchor / Host

School: Franklin Pierce University
Hometown: Keene, NH

Tyler Ryan has been part of the Midlands media landscape for over 7 years, working as a television host, morning radio personality, writer and pitchman for local, national products, and since January of 2011, an anchor and cast member of Good Day.

In addition to his duties “on the set,” Tyler hosts several franchises, including “Tyler’s Travels,” which finds him exploring the Palmetto State and beyond for the interesting people and places that make the area magical. He has been known to swim with piranha, come face to face with an anaconda, and play tug-of-war on a “Wild Wednesday,” and on “Food Fridays,” Tyler cooks with, and gets secrets from, some of the areas most talented chefs, and shares great deals with viewers.

When not palling around with the G.D.C. team, Tyler works closely with several organizations in the Midlands, including serving as the spokesman for the Riverbanks Zoo, the First Responders Memorial, and the Heroes Vest Fund. Tyler also works with the National Safety Council, the Pawmetto Lifeline, and several cancer related charities. He also sits on the Board of Directors of the Nurturing Center and the Adam Turner Foundation. Tyler is also a professional emcee and event host.

On the rare occasion he finds himself with some free time, Tyler enjoys playing racquetball, spending time with his lab and Chihuahua (yes, a Chihuahua!), and taking his motorcycle for a spin on the back roads.

If you have an idea for a Tyler’s Travels adventure, or you need a speaker for your school, civic club, or event, email TRyan@wach.com, and find him on Facebook and Twitter.
