Tyler Kieler

Hometown:  Potosi, Wisconsin

Undergrad: University of Wisconsin – La Crosse B.S. in Political Science/Philosophy (double major) (2001);  University of San Diego, J.D. (2004)

Current city:  Madison, Wisconsin

Current employment:  I quit my job after 6 years of employment as litigating attorney, dabbled in family law and criminal defense, then focused on plaintiff’s civil litigation, concentrating on injury and consumer litigation. Leaving the law is called “pulling the cord”.

Why he chose Tippie:   I did not choose Tippie because it is in Iowa. I am a diehard Wisconsin Badger fan. Being a Hawkeye will take great emotional and psychological fortitude. But, somehow I’ll learn to cope. :)

Something interesting about Tyler:   I love trying new beers, especially those with a massive amount of hops. I plan on getting a cot at the Sanctuary Pub.  I own every major videogame console made since 1987 except the Super Nintendo. We are currently in the golden age of videogaming. I’m 32. Don’t judge me.
