My name is Tyler Spykstra and I was born and raised in Colorado. I’ve always loved the outdoors and the natural beauty of the state, and am extremely lucky I get to go to school here. The Harvey scholarship made college a possibility for me and my family, and never would have had the opportunity to attend Mines without Hugh and Michelle. I grew up the youngest of three brothers, and we were always pretty adventurous. I hope to travel and study abroad as much as I can these coming years. I am so thankful for everything and everyone that helped me get here, and am excited to take part in this awesome group!
