Despite growing up in the middle of the cornfields of the midwest, Tyler Gibb loves nothing more than standing knee-deep in a trout river with a fly-fishing rod in hand. He currently lives in Kalamazoo, Michigan, with his wife, three kids, and the most ridiculously fluffy dog—Coconut the golden doodle. He is an avid yet terrible golfer. Recently, he built an epic chicken coop, the envy of all the rival dads in the neighborhood.

Professionally, he is co-chair of the Department of Medical Ethics, Humanities and Law at the Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine at Western Michigan University. He is a proud double Biliken and was awarded both graduate degrees (J.D. and PhD in Health Care Ethics) from Saint Louis University.

He researches and writes about misconduct in healthcare and medical education, the intersection of healthcare and law, and medical humanities in medical education. He is currently working on a book about Medical Tattooing.
