Tyler is a freshman at Kenmore West High School. He’s an only child but considers his pug Rumba a very important part of his family! He plays hockey, football, and soccer. He also plays the saxophone and likes to ride his bike. Tyler has a great sense of humor and an excellent work ethic.

Tyler was happiest at Buffalo ReUSE when he was doing something that was physically challenging. He was great at dismantling doors and sorting materials at the ReSource. His favorite job at ReUSE was to work with the compost! He told us that he really liked learning how organic waste turns into something good for the soil in the gardens. He helped dump vegetable waste, turn the piles, and covered everything up with wood chips and brush.

Tyler was a great asset to the Buffalo ReUse summer volunteer crews. He even brought his friend Casey along a few times. They were great working together. We will never forget the time Tyler got dunked at our Dunk Elvis event, when he squirted everyone with his super soaker, and when he showed everyone how to use the fire hose to water the gardens. We hope Tyler comes back to volunteer again sometime soon!
