Remarkably, Tyler had no formal training, only watching online videos and then jumping into actual jobs. His first paid job was in an open backyard in Utah, where he quickly grasped the basics of bid calculations.

For a typical small stump, estimated at 18 inches, this translated into about $126, which he rounded to a $200 minimum for simplicity.
