Tyler's wife is a virtual gourmet cook and his favorite food is her homemade Hawaiian food. Although Tyler enjoys professional soccer teams from Seattle and Spain, his favorite soccer teams who's players are his family or friends. It's the personal connection with the players that makes it fun to watch!
