Tyler was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, enjoying the “Show-Me State” until he served his mission in Fresno, California. Because he lived in St. Louis, Tyler is a die-hard Cardinals fan (go Cards!). Tyler was the baby of four half-brothers and four half-sisters, but he doesn’t consider any of them “halves.” He was first married in 1999, and then divorced in 2005. He later remarried, marrying Tammy’s sister whom he had the biggest crush on while growing up. Today they have a family of three girls (20, 16, 16) and 2 boys (15, 10). Tyler began his law enforcement career in August of 2000. He first started at Utah State Prison. He later transferred to the Utah County Sheriff’s Office where he currently serves as a Sergeant. He has served in the following different areas throughout his career at the Sheriff’s Office: jail, patrol, investigations, contract-city patrol, courts with specialty assignments on the traffic team, Special Victims Unit, and SWAT. When he is not working, he enjoys spending time playing board games, bowling, and watching movies or hiking with his family.

Best-selling author Jason F. Wright is a fan of people. It is apparent in the way his face lights up when he talks about those who have impacted his life, some of them strangers he met only briefly. On today’s episode, he explains how his passion for people and their stories began in his childhood home, thanks in large part to the example of his parents who taught him to believe in the goodness of others.

The LDS Church instituted its “I’m a Mormon” ad campaign in 2011 as a way for curious outsiders to peek in at Mormonism’s greatest strength—its members. Rather than viewing the Internet’s inherent decentralizing property as an obstacle to be combated, the Church (rather brilliantly) began to envision that very decentralization as an opportunity: Let the members be the message. In the last two years the “I’m a Mormon” campaign has become the Church’s calling card to the world, often gently challenging stereotypes that people may have harbored about who is or can be a good Mormon.

The Hallmark Channel is replacing "The Martha Stewart Show," the domestic diva's flagship TV property, with a new daily show fronted by veteran song-and-dance entertainer Marie Osmond. Hallmark is close to finalizing a deal with Los Angeles-based ATI, which is producing Osmond's new show.

That meeting held for neighbors by the Missionary Training Center on Thursday sounded a lot like LDS missionaries knocking on the door of a non-believer: one side believes that when the prophet speaks the debate is over, while the other believes it is just beginning. The subject of the debate is the proposed nine-story building to be constructed on the MTC campus. More than 100 residents met at Rock Canyon Elementary School to view proposed site plans, voice concerns and stand up for their property values and skyline views.

The Church announced Sept. 7 that the Payson Utah Temple groundbreaking will take place on Oct. 8, with Elder Dallin H. Oaks presiding at the 9 a.m. ceremony. The property for the temple is located at approximately 930 West and 1550 South on the southwest side of Payson, a mile from the 800 South I-15 interchange. The new temple will help meet the needs of a growing Church membership in the area and will ease the heavy use of the Provo Utah Temple, which is one of the busiest in the Church. The Payson temple will bring to 15 the number of operating and announced temples in Utah.

Based on the promise of a prophet, Latter-day Saints in France have looked forward for years to the day a temple will be built in France.
