  • In addition to being an engaged and responsible parent, I’m also a professional firefighter—trained in emergency response, first aid/CPR, and crisis management. I’m reliable under pressure, attentive to safety, and experienced in supervising youth. I’m confident in my ability to support group travel while ensuring the well-being of all participants.
  • I’m Tyson, 44, firefighter, married with two kids (8 and 13). I’m all about family, into sports across the board, and I’ll never say no to a good video game session—especially if I can beat my kids at it.

  • 8 years as a manager of between 12-18 staff at any time at a large Clinical Research organization. President of Tampa Dynamo FC for 4+ years, recently was a chaperone for 4 boys from our own club on a trip to England, including solo travelers we ensured had a successful trip.
  • Married to my beautiful wife Michelle for 15 years with two children, Owen (13) and Nathaniel (8). This will be our third summer having Owen participate with GSD (with trips to Portugal and Spain prior) and I've attended each year as I enjoy getting to see up close the wonderful things that GSD does for the kids that take part. My spare time is all things soccer related as I am the current President of our club, Tampa Dynamo FC located in Riverview, FL. I'm a massive Manchester United fan, even in these rough last few years!
