Tyler has successfully completed his third year in the animation program at Loyalist College and while not all of the marks are in, he's received well over 90% in the ones that are. In addition to this, his professors have selected him to showcase his work in the Student Showcase section at DIGIFEST in Toronto. (Digifest is an international digital festival which takes place in Toronto)
