Tyler, The Brave.
Tyler was once Robin Hood. He was once a pirate, and for a moment a vampire. His mother sewed the costumes every Halloween, carefully stitching together the patches of felt. Tyler once made a half-court shot in the St. Mary’s Elementary School playground. No one was there to watch. Tyler is a New Englander, a Bostonian at heart. He has conquered oceans and braved storms.
