Join us for a coffee and chat with Tyler Reil from Fabco Plastics!
Tyler's journey from a small town Yamaha enthusiast to a seasoned Branch Manager at Fabco Plastics has been a testament to his resilience and determination.
Tyler grew up in the small town of Willingdon Alberta, a small farming community comprised of 350 residents. It wasn't until his family moved to St. Albert that he decided he wanted work at the local Yamaha Dealership. Tyler's love of motorcycles and sport came together and he was able to participate in motorcycle races, even travelling to the US to compete. Tyler worked at Yamaha for 21 years, it wasn't until the racing started to take a physical toll on him that he decided a change was in order.
He began taking night courses to upgrade his schooling with the intent to pursue a Mechanical Engineering Degree from NAIT. Through this schooling he realized the degree wasn't what he wanted to do with his life and was approached with the opportunity to work at Fabco Plastics as the Branch Manager. Tyler has been working with Fabco ever since.
Last year as Tyler and his wife, Dawn, were heading home from Westlock when they were in a head-on collision. A car had drifted into their lane and there was no time to react. Tyler woke up in the ambulance with no memory of the accident, at the hospital it was 6 hours before he was able to see Dawn. While Tyler walked away from the accident with minor injuries, Dawn's were more severe. Throughout their recovery Tyler and Dawn were supported by family and friends, whose positivity helped make an unfortunate situation a bit brighter.
Tyler's story serves as a reminder that setbacks can lead to new opportunities and that with perseverance, even the most difficult challenges can be overcome.
