Partner

Email Tyler

Tyler specializes in aircraft sales and acquisitions with over 15 years of industry experience. His love for aviation began very early, flying in an open cockpit Waco UPF-7 that took off from a grass strip near his home of Boulder, CO. After earning a private pilot certificate at 18, he attended Embry Riddle in Daytona, FL, before returning to Boulder to complete his education in Aeronautical Science and Aviation Management. Just months after beginning as a market analyst in 2007 at a premier aircraft brokerage, he was promoted to VP of Sales. In his time there, he navigated the lows of the 2008 financial crises to the boom times of today, providing valuable advice and experience to clients worldwide. He joined Hatt & Associates in 2021, after running European sales for an international firm.
