About Tyler Mayne

Dedicated to the Technicians of Live Events

Tyler was a true visionary, founding Evolve Technology in 2006 and setting the industry standard for providing outstanding video products, services, and education. Countless people benefitted from his generous spirit, and unwavering commitment to the live events industry

Evolve is the gold standard for quality in the live events industry because of Tyler’s commitment to technicians, not technology. He created Evolve because as a technician he experienced firsthand how one piece of faulty gear could make or break a gig.

He would say “In our industry, there are no do-overs”. This fueled Tyler’s purpose to support the technician, whose reputation on the line for every show. He made it his mission to ensure that everything at Evolve elevates the technician and makes them the star of the show.

He looked at the men and women of the live events industry as craftsmen and the very definition of entrepreneurs. Tyler dedicated his life to the industry he credited many times with saving him and giving him purpose.

He didn’t do what was easy, he did what was right for the industry. Starting an Academy to train technicians wasn’t easy, but it was what technicians needed because he knew that with knowledge came confidence, and with confidence came success.

His voice will be greatly missed, however his legacy will live on through Evolve and this scholorship.
