Meet The Models: Tyler
Tyler and I met while I was in New York for my birthday in 2022. He is making his way through the wrestling scene in New York and is also very knowledgeable about Long Island - he could be a tour guide!
We’ve been trying to get together since our first shoot and I hope we can make it happen very soon!

WHAT IS YOUR STORY? Hi! I'm Tyler. I was born and raised on Long Island and I'm still happy to call this beautiful place home. I have a Long Island accent to prove my authenticity. I always loved school and academics. I went to a college prepatory high school and went on to get a Bachelor's degree in Linguistics from Hofstra University with minors in Geography and Global Studies. I'm an only child and spent a lot of time with my parents growing up. We went on some great vacations and I have really fond memories of my childhood. I recently just turned 25 and I feel like I'm entering a new chapter of my life. I'm determined to start my career soon. I absolutely love meeting new people and am an extrovert. I can speak English, Spanish, German, and a bit of a few other languages. I'm proud of myself for getting through a lot of adversity over the years. I'm a mental health advocate. In my spare time, I love to be in nature, garden, ride my bike around The Island, and go explore different towns and NYC, which is only less than an hour away by train!
BOXERS OR BRIEFS? Boxer briefs!
WAS THIS YOUR FIRST TIME WEARING MEGGINGS AND A WRESTLING SINGLET? WHAT DID YOU THINK? It was my first time wearing Meggings and I loved the feel! I felt so confident in them. I wore a singlet once or twice before, but felt incredible and sexy while shooting in them. I love the way it fits tightly on my body.
WHEN DO YOU FEEL MOST CONFIDENT? When I'm wrestling, modelling, presenting an academic work I've produced (I'm a nerd at heart!) or when I'm with a group of friends that I know have my back and support me for who I am.
YOUR FAVORITE AND WHY: A WRESTLING SINGLET OR HEAD-TO-TOE DENIM? Wrestling singlet! I do LOVE denim, but when I put on a singlet, that's when the magic happens. I feel like I enter another realm.
WHAT DO YOU HOPE YOUR NEXT GREAT ACHIEVEMENT WILL BE? I hope to go back to college for meteorology. I absolutely love weather!
WHAT IS THE BRAVEST THING YOU’VE DONE? I overcame a lot of adversity in high school. As a gay teenager in a school that wasn't so accepting, I decided to be true to myself and not let anyone dim my shine!
WHY METEOROLOGY? I always have the Weather Channel on in my house. When I was a child, I always used to print out maps of the United States and draw different weather scenarios like one would see when watching the radar on TV! I also got to visit a NWS weather center that we have here on Long Island when I was in high school.
WHAT IS AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE YOU’VE BEEN A PART OF? In 2015, I was at the Belmont Stakes and saw the first Triple Crown in over three decades when American Pharaoh won the race. I actually witnessed history with my own eyes! I remember holding my dad's hand and some random lady's hand and we were all jumping and screaming. I have the tickets and some photos framed.
HOW DO YOU FEEL IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA? I feel confident in front of a camera. I feel like I can ignore all of life's problems and just focus on taking good photos. I like to have fun and be myself and add my own creative flair when taking pictures. I also love showcasing fashion.
WHICH MALE CELEBRITY WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO SEE IN A PAIR OF KAPOW MEGGINGS? Timothée Chalamet seems like the type of guy that would rock the look!
