Tyler, one-half of the team dubbed "The Hippies" by Racers and viewers alike, had a wealth of travel experience behind him before embarking on his adventures with best friend BJ on The Amazing Race. Together, the two circumnavigated the world with Semester at Sea, stopping in China, South Africa and Singapore to explore.
Since winning the Amazing Race, Tyler has been in San Francisco buying all the toys he ever wanted as a kid. "I've bought a giant kite, an electric skateboard, and the world's largest set of sidewalk chalk." He plans on using what's left of his money to buy a house with his two brothers.
Tyler's relationship with BJ is as strong as ever. If they're not riding camels at Burning Man or swimming laps in the San Francisco Bay, they're often in Los Angeles working on short films and television. The two are frequently recognized on the street as being Starsky and Hutch, but occasionally they get yelled the classic, "Hey Hippies!"
Tyler aims to further his career as a travel-documentary filmmaker, with plans to shoot movies in Iran, Cuba, and China. He also sells the award winning DVD of his walk across Japan on his website, kintarowalksjapan.com.
When he's not running around the world with BJ, he can sometimes be found waiting tables at his older brother's seafood restaurant, Woodhouse Fish Company, in San Francisco. Tyler is urging his brother to add crickets to the menu, arguing "they aren't actually that bad after the first few." His brother stubbornly refuses, firmly stating that crickets are not seafood.
He keeps in touch with all of the racers from his season, but has a special fondness for Lake and Michelle, Fran and Berry, Ray and Yolanda, Dave and Lori, and of course, the Frat Boys.
