A man who seeks better living through uncertainty, taking more risks in life, and so leads to better and more fulfilling lifestyle.  A fellow who enjoys stepping outside his comfort zone on a regular basis, always challenging himself, please welcome Tyler Tervooren.

Originally from a small town in Portland, Oregon, Tyler lived a standard, normal life.  The expectations were living a conservative life—go to school, get a job, get a wife, have kids, and wait for retirement.  He followed that up to the point of getting a job, although deep down Tyler knew that this path was not right for him.  His wake-up call came in February 2010, when he was laid off from his corporate job.  For Tyler, this was a gift in disguise as he fully committed to his blog.

Tyler found small pleasures from taking small risks in his life.  He started keeping a written record, and then continually wrote on his blog.

“The truest freedom is of the mind. A conscious act to embrace the unknown.”

So what’s his blog of Advanced Riskology about?

Tyler’s purpose for his blog, Advanced Riskology, as the blog name suggests, is to help people make risks in their lives to live a more fulfilling life.
