On most any summer day at The Lakes at Cypress Hill you can find 21 year old Tyler Boyd on the water coaching kids from the neighborhood.  Tyler has been coaching a total of six summers, three at his home site. Tyler started coaching at Mueller’s Ski Center located in Houston, Texas under the supervision of Charles Mueller his ski coach and mentor.  For the past three summers at Cypress, Tyler has coached and enjoyed helping his students improve their skills on the water and to prepare for the upcoming ski season. In the summer of 2006 he was also invited to coach the Colorado Junior Development Camp at Laku Landing in Windsor, Colorado. Off the water Tyler coached the Tomball High School 5A varsity football team in their 7 on 7 summer games. Once a week you will also find Tyler volunteering his time to help out with teenagers in the Young Life organization.

Tyler Boyd started skiing at the age of five and entered his first Nationals at age seven. He is a four time National champion, has twenty-one Regional titles, and is a former Regional record holder and two-time alternate for the United States Junior Water Ski Team.  Tyler graduated in May 2006 after three years at Bethany College with a double major in Communication and Christian Ministry. Tyler was awarded the 2005 NAIA Football All-American Scholar-Athlete and KCAC Academic All Conference Award in football as a Bethany Swede quarterback #15.  

Presently Tyler is attending The University of Louisiana at Monroe studying Communication in the graduate program and skiing for the ULM ski team.

Tyler’s enthusiasm and light-hearted spirit make everyday on the lake exciting. For example when students have a personal best day they are rewarded by skiing at 35 off to see who can make the most buoys and take the best crashes! He does have a serious side though when it comes to competition and encouraging his students to focus on improving their skiing.  When asked why he coaches he answers with a smile,” The kids are great and I just love it!”

Tyler would like to give a special thanks to all his students:
