He is a native of Puerto Rico, and he shared that Boricua bond with Tito from the go at West Point. They learned from and supported each other throughout that often dark experience, and he carries Tit’s reverence for Jesus Christ’s new commandment: “love one another.” He is humbled to be a part of this effort to make Tito’s Way an example for future generations.

Hard work, discipline, and integrity—these three values were embraced by Tito and ultimately passed on to Tyler. He met Tito in 2012 during his first year at West Point and maintained a close relationship with him throughout their time together at school and in El Paso. He is grateful to share in keeping his memory alive for all-time, through this scholarship.
