Tyler Carr is a second-generation leader in the landscape supply and excavation industry, having grown up in the Carr family business and learning the trade from the ground up.

He’s an avid reader and podcast listener who believes the best leaders stay curious. Tyler is always looking to learn from the people around him—and he’s equally committed to helping others grow by sharing what he’s learned (and the mistakes that taught him the most).

In the summer months, you’ll often find him at the family cottage with friends and family. He doesn’t sit still for long, so he fills his free time with running—and his newest goal is to run a marathon this spring.
