In just four years on the WPCA Pro Tour, Tyler has recorded wins in every season since 2022. 2024 saw Tyler win the Battle of the North for the second consecutive year behind Rae Croteau Jr., and he rode in six championship final heats.
Tyler has been following the professional chuckwagon circuit with his parents – 2022 WPCA Active Supporter Award winners Jeff and Julie DeSutter – since he was in diapers, and outriding is something he always aspired to do. He spent the majority of his upbringing helping drivers Rick Fraser and Chanse Vigen, whom he considers to be the two active competitors that have influenced him the most.
A two-sport athlete, Tyler played football for the Edmonton Wildcats of the Prairie Football Conference in the Canadian Junior Football League. He played high school football for the St. Joes Celtics football program in Grande Prairie that won 3 consecutive Peace Bowl Championships to cap off three consecutive undefeated seasons. His other interests include hockey, golfing and travelling with his family. Tyler is single and makes his home in Grande Prairie, Alberta.
