Who Am I?
Hey! My name is Tyler Hays. I am currently a non-traditional student at the University of Nebraska Lincoln, majoring in Graphic Design. I have a lot of things that keep me busy: work, school, being a dad, being a husband, and those are just a small sample. I am obsessed with food! I have a huge collection of cookbooks (some of them are autographed), I am constantly watching food related shows, and I sometimes cook for me and my family. I live under this idea that life is far too short to eat shitty food! So eat well my friends and as always eat or die.
I could write a book filled with all the things I do or have done, so instead I will just highlight a few things that I do. If you want to know more about me buy me dinner, just kidding (not really kidding buy me dinner im always hungry). So what do I do? I currently work full time managing on campus coffee shops, I also go to school full time. When I am not at work or in class my time is spent hanging out with my 5 year old daughter. You will find us watching drawing videos together or making food, or just watching shows. I also have a degree in Audio Recording and spend some time working as an audio engineer for local venues. Also I am a former tattoo artist/ current tattoo artist (it is complicated buy me dinner and I will tell you about it), but I still love to get tattoos. I am currently working on getting a different pizza tattoo every month this year! The rest of my time is spent hanging out with my wife and working on homework.
What Are My Dreams?
I have big dreams and aspirations right now. I first want to finish school strong. Next I would love to get a job that I can be proud of. As far as job ideas, I would love to work within the food and beverage industry. I would love to work with chefs, bakers, restaurants, breweries, distilleries, coffee shops, really anything food or drink related. I would really enjoy doing branding, logos, merch design, menu design, that sort of thing. But my ultimate dream is to design cookbooks. I would love to bring people's food creations to life.
