About Me
—
My name is Tyler James Thrasher.
Raised in Richmond, I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Mass Communications from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2017. I am currently working on my master’s degree in mass communications in digital strategy at the University of Florida. Currently, I am a regional digital content creator for FOX LOCAL, creating content for FOX 29 Philadelphia, FOX 5 New York, and FOX 5 DC. Creative and compassionate, I formerly used my skills to serve the public as the Senior Brand and Multimedia Strategist for the Virginia Department of Emergency Management in 2024. Formerly a member of ABC 8News, I served as an on-air reporter and the digital executive producer, where my work was recognized through a Regional Edward R. Murrow Award for Digital Journalism. I also use my multimedia skills as a freelance photographer and videographer and have earned the certification with the FAA to become a Part 107 Remote Pilot.
Recently, I started creating content in the Philadelphia area, highlighting the beauty in all the little things that make Philly, Philly.
I am a proud dog dad and passionate soccer enthusiast; you can find me playing on a local indoor soccer team or cheering on Arsenal from across the pond.
