Tyson is first and foremost a mountain biker. Since the age of 3, he has been riding bikes, and since age 10 he's been mountain biking. Tyson's dad would drop him off at the Slickrock Bike Trail and tell him to ride home whenever he was done, he was 11 at this time and this was before cell phones.  

"As a kid, my parents gave me a pretty long leash to do what made me happy. Growing up in Moab with the ability to go way out in the desert with my bike helped me develop a deep love and connection to the land that I now love capturing and sharing through my lens.  Although I do go out and capture the classic shots you've probably seen around, I also strive to find those special places, different angles and shoot in the moodiest weather moments."
