Marshall Tyler grew up on a ranch his granddad ran in Southwest Texas, where he learned the value of honesty and hard work at a young age. From the time he could walk, he helped on the ranch, and he couldn't imagine any other childhood that could have been better. Throughout his teens, he continued working on ranches, training a few horses, as well as rodeoing. While attending college at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, TX, he broke colts for world-renowned cutting horse trainer Larry Reeder. After graduating in 1991, he continued his rodeo career, as well as starting a business which is still in operation today. For many years he worked in the music industry as a bus driver. His client list includes many artists and bands, from Metallica, Chicago, Jimmy Buffett to Toby Keith. He still actively rodeos as a member of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. Marshall and his wife reside in Stephenville, TX with their 3 children. They raise cattle, train a few horses and try to give their children the best life and direction as possible.
