Human Resource Professional
Tyler is an extraordinary human resource consultant. His knowledge and expertise in all areas of human
resources and organizational development are impressive.
His operational knowledge and hands-on involvement was crucial at all levels of the Watts organization during
their domestic ramp-down period. He worked to ensure HR functionality in the field sites was successful as a
catalyst for process improvement and positive change. He was equally professional and personable; motivating
his site managers to produce quality results by setting clear objectives and creating an enjoyable environment
where work could be productive and not performed in vain.
I highly recommend Tyler as a person who can favorably impact any company's overall success by providing
talented operational human resources and skill sets equal to, if not greater than, any Director or Vice President
out there today. Tyler delivered 110% value to the Watts Corporation.
Application Questions:
1.)After serving on the Ethics Commission successfully for 1 year, and successfully as a
Planning Commissioner for 2 years I wish to maintain my level of involvement and continue to
give back to the community that I, my wife and son call home. Being an active member of the
TIPC would actively allow me to as a steward to the community the opportunity to continue to
contribute to the ongoing life cycle of planned island growth and development.
2.) '‘fe always believed that TIPC role is to provide a strong citizen leadership role within the
community in which professionalism, growth and development prevail in a positive forward
thinking manner.
3.) I believe the TIPC LDC should always strive to promote health, safety, morals, convenience,
order, prosperity and general welfare within the legal boundaries of our island.
4.)The catalyst for me was the IGA parking lot expansion, I can remember the night it was
approved by presiding City Council at the time. Though I was happy with the council supporting
an island business I felt it could have used a tertiary review to reassure a more confident
decision by council.
5.) 50/50, depends on the continued efforts of effective management and preservation of our
city government and LDC. 10 years from now I believe we will be that model "Shining City on an
Island", one which chose to embody effective management of it's assets in every aspect,
development, preservation, promotion of health, integrity, safety, community, morals, order,
prosperity, honesty and general welfare.
6.) City of Tybee Island should avoid at all times and situations which could possibly influence
th- actions of others in specific opportunistic situations that would be considered questionable
&
7.) Revisions in the LOC (variances), long hours and lots of intense discussion in the
development of a proposed lighting ordnance for the City of Tybee Island.
8.) Expansion of the TIPC..reducing the TIPC headcount reduces the capability of voting
effectiveness I'm confident we all know this well because it impacts the ability at times to form a
quorum. Can't form a quorum, can't effectively conduct business affairs in an efficient manner
that's healthy for the city. Raise the headcount on the TIPC back to 9, or implement an alternate
Planning Commissioner structure to assist in avoiding at all times the inability to form a
quorum.
