The Story
For His glory, and the good of those I lead.
Tyson was raised in Mississippi, in a home that didn't hold. Born into two worlds, Black and white, and belonging fully to neither, the first thing he learned to do well was hold his own. It would be years before he learned the second thing—how to put it down.
Today, he doesn't carry it alone. He's a husband and father of four.
Football gave him somewhere to put the weight—a walk-on at Mississippi State who left as the starting quarterback in the SEC, then scouted professional talent for the St. Louis Rams. In 2013, he walked away. Not from failure, but from clarity. The game had taught him how to perform under a scoreboard everyone could see, but not who he was when it disappeared.
He learned early what happens when no one steady stands at the center of a room. He'd grown up in one.
That's why he builds different kinds of rooms now: retreats, a weekly brotherhood, evening gatherings where saying what you're carrying isn't the exception—it's the point. You'll also find him coaching youth sports, teaching Sunday school, hosting people around his table, or preaching when asked.
He builds leaders—and the businesses, teams, and families they're called to build.
