Tyler's Story
Growing up in a small town in central PA, I've always been surrounded by hardworking, very skilled people that always knew how to fix and build just about anything. For as long as I can remember, my dad was one of those people and is still one of the most handy people I know. I have always admired his ability to problem solve and make incredible, functional things out of nothing. I love learning new skills and creating things that mean something.
​
For the past decade, I've worked in the fitness and rehab field, where I currently own two different businesses. I have a great passion for helping people rediscover their former health and fitness, while making things fun and encouraging at the same time. But I also have a deep passion for the outdoors and and working with my hands. Being dad's assistant in the garage as a kid, taking shop class in high school, and all my time outside camping and hunting gave me such a strong respect for trees, woodworking, and making useful things. My purpose with starting Timber Bear Woodworks was to establish an efficient workshop space for creating, building, and re-purposing all things wood and lumber related and hopefully impact our local communities by promoting sustainability, utilizing local resources, and highlighting other small businesses.

Back in 2021, our family bought a local, historic dairy farm here in central PA; close to 140 acres of beautiful rolling hills, dense woods, streams, and old crop fields. The farm and property were not operational at time of purchase and hadn't been lived on for decades, unfortunately, so buildings and road systems were totally dilapidated and in need of serious restoration.
For the last few years then, our collective family has been spending weekends and available time at the property tearing down old buildings, re-grading roads, clearing overgrowth, and so much more, trying to preserve whatever history we can. In the process, we decided to start filming our journey and work as more people expressed interest in what we're doing.
As the channel as has progressed, we've added more projects and concepts to focus on, which includes our new addition of Timber Bear Woodworks! Along with filming unique work at the farm property, we'll be doing a lot of filming at Timber Bear headquarters, showcasing our facility and story, the unique equipment we use and our processes, interesting woodworking projects, logs on the sawmill, and so much more!
