High School & College...
Joining the PDR Swim Team (featured in Pride) at the "late" age of 11 taught Tyree the importance of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Chubby and barely able to swim all four strokes on day one, Tyree quickly caught up to his peers. Seven years later... A member of the 257th Graduating Class of Central High School in Philadelphia, PA, and an Honorary Bachelor Degree recipient, Tyree accepted an athletic scholarship to Towson University.
While swimming at Towson, Tyree held two leadership roles on campus; Resident Assistant and President of the Lambda Zeta Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. Two years before graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Electronic Business (Dec. '05), he began an internship at a start-up web development firm in Baltimore, Maryland.
Work Experience...
In addition to knowledge gained in the classroom, he has logged over 7 years of hands-on experience in graphic design, Web Application Development, and Website/Database Integration. The majority of his current web projects include Front and Back End Layout Design and developing & implementing Web Content Management Systems.
This experience has given him a working knowledge of HTML, XML, CSS, JavaScript, ASP, SQL, Access, and Flash (just to name a few). Navigating multiple operating systems and software packages came easily, as Tyree is able to rapidly adapt to any new environment (software or physical).
Did You Know?
Seven months after graduation from Towson University, Tyree moved to Shanghai, China; where he taught English at the Shanghai Finance University. This move served multiple purposes; 1. achieving his goal of living in a foreign country, 2. achieving his goal of using a foreign language effectively, 3. allowing him to network in one of the world's dominant business centers.
Post China...
Tyree has returned to web development, completing projects for such clients as Maryland Public Television, Morgan State University, The International Headquarters for The Seventh-Day Adventist Church, as well as numerous small businesses nationwide.
In July 2008, Tyree Co-Founded and Launched USAHomeRaffle.com, which has since become a premier online location for information on home raffles throughout the United States. Tyree and the development team also boast Achieving Top Google Rankings for the site.
Currently, along a group of partners, Tyree is embarking on his next entrepreneurial venture... NotYetPro.com.
