Tyler will be the first to admit that he NEVER thought he would go into the car business, - his uncle owned and operated a small dealership (James Smith Motors) out of Somerset & Tyler's Grandfather also sold vehicles for several years - but all it took was one GREAT Sales Manager to convince him to give it a try for him to jump on board, and we have been amazed by his natural talent of helping customers find their DREAM vehicle on our lot!  

    Tyler is a regularly attending member of Hillside Missionary Baptist Church and enjoys being part of such a wonderful community. In his spare time, Tyler loves to spend time with his onlychild, Gracie. In the rare occasions that Tyler and Gracie aren't together, you can find Tyler enjoying sporting events ( UK Basketball mainly), concerts, playing golf, partaking in a game of cornhole, engaging in a friendly game of poker or hanging out with friends.
