I spent 12 years in ministry working with Youth. Had the 3rd Largest Youth Ministry in the US. Then opened up Tyler Family Ministries and provided counseling for 4 years. Then got involved in Sales. I worked with Excel Communications out of Dallas, Texas and became the 23rd top money earner in our company. I’ve been in sales for over 30 plus years. It’s a passion of mine. Loves working with people and educating clients on products that I believe will make a huge difference in their lives.
