More About Tyler Merrin

He was introduced to goalball in 1999 at a sports education camp hosted. His wife plays goalball with him on a recreational team in Florida and his son, Mason, who is sighted, coaches his parents who are both legally blind. Tyler works as a personal trainer, motivational speaker and founder of ReVision Training LLC. Hi hobbies include spending time with his family, reading, playing guitar, rollerblading and playing sports.
More About Chris Peterson
Chris Peterson was born blind and raised with the expectation that he’d lead a successful life. Throughout his adult life, Chris has learned a great deal about managing his finances, mostly from accidental successes and mistakes he has made along the way. In 2020, he decided to make it his mission to teach other blind people some of the things he had to learn the hard way. Knowing he couldn’t do it alone, he began building Penny Forward, a community of people who are blind, their families, and friends, who share his interest in financial independence.
