Tyler Bekkerus

Director of Recreation

Tyler was born and raised in Bradenton and spent many years of his youth playing sports at The Center. Tyler’s love for all sports and The Center blossomed into a position with The Center as a young adult. He spent many years working as the Athletic Assistant where he helped create and mold the sports programs we have today. He also worked with the Summer Camp programs and special events. Tyler returns to The Center after 11 years to continue serving this amazing community and is excited beyond words to be back home. In-between his time with The Center, Tyler spent his professional life managing people/teams in retail, healthcare and hospitality most recently at a director level.

Tyler is married to wife Emily, also a Bradenton native, have spent time living both here in the Bradenton area and in Minnesota. They have 5 awesomely crazy boys; Wesley, Deacon, Graeme, Mason and Camden. You will find all of Tyler’s family participating in programs and volunteering at events as they share his love for the community and The Center. When Tyler is not at The Center, he enjoys spending time with the family, playing golf or just relaxing.
