Tyler Ziroe on Hockey, Meteorology, and Work Ethic

In Episode 19 of The Late Start Show, Charlie Martin and Jack Nelson sit down with Tyler Ziroe, a senior at University School, committed hockey player, and aspiring meteorologist. A “lifer” at US, Tyler reflects on his journey from kindergarten through high school, discussing how supportive teachers, challenging academics, and the school’s unique meteorology elective all helped spark his passion for weather reporting.

Tyler shares insights from shadowing Channel 5’s Trent McGill, recounts the early-morning studio visits that fueled his determination, and explains how he now delivers weekly school-wide weather updates using US’s green-screen room. A dedicated athlete, Tyler also dives into his longstanding commitment to hockey, having played since age four, and the work ethic instilled by Coach Gerow that drives the team toward its state championship goals.
