Knutson Companies Team is excited to welcome Tyler! Tyler lives in Mandan, North Dakota, where he lives with his fiancé, Calli, and their pets, Moose and Ms. Kitty. Tyler's hobbies include running, biking, hunting, and spending time with his family and friends. Born and raised in Grand Forks, North Dakota, Tyler spent many weekends visiting his grandparents in Bismarck which led to him to relocating to the Bismarck-Mandan area in late 2022. He has enjoyed learning about his new community and looks forward to engaging with both public and private sectors.
Educational Background
Tyler graduated from Red River High School in Grand Forks and continued his education at the University of North Dakota, where he studied civil engineering and enjoyed his time spent playing as wide receiver on the football team. After completing his undergraduate degree, he further pursued a Master's in Business Administration (MBA). His involvement in football included serving on the team's leadership council and participating in several honorary academic organizations such as Tau Beta Pi and Beta Gamma Sigma.
Professional Experience
While completing his civil engineering degree and during his graduate studies, Tyler gained valuable experience at Burian & Associates, LLC, a consulting civil engineering firm. There, he worked as an engineer in training on projects ranging from field surveying and water demand analyses to wastewater discharge analyses and contract development. Tyler collaborated with a team of partners to drive the development of 266 residential units and over 78,000 square feet of commercial real estate on the University of North Dakota campus. His role involved negotiations for long-term land leases, condominium leases, and commercial leases, as well as business development, financial analysis, and stakeholder management.
Tyler's deep experience in real estate development, engineering, and business makes him a fantastic addition to Knutson Companies. We're thrilled to have him on board and look forward to seeing the incredible contributions he'll make to our team and the community. Welcome, Tyler!
