Born and raised in the city of Orangeburg, South Carolina, Tyler went on to attend The Citadel, where he received a military education and Biology degree. After spending a few years as a Orangeburg historian, Tyler chose to pursue the study of law at The University of South Carolina. Upon admission to the South Carolina Bar, Tyler returned to Orangeburg, where his family has practiced law for nearly 100 years.
Tyler practices in downtown Orangeburg, blocks from where he grew up, and yards from the Courthouse steps. Tyler’s desire to serve the people of Orangeburg and it’s surrounding areas is not new to the Gardner name. His father, Dr. Jimmy Gardner, practiced dentistry in Orangeburg for nearly 40 years.
When he his not practicing law, Tyler enjoys hunting, fishing, listening to old-time music with his friends and playing with his black lab, Bruce. Helping coach the local track team at Orangeburg Preparatory School is a true passion and desire, as both he and his father were state medalist and ran and coached in the low country communities.
