Chief Executive Officer
Tyler@VisitCasper.com
Meet Tyler, serving as Visit Casper's CEO since December 2022. Tyler was recruited all the way from Dubuque, Iowa where he worked in the tourism industry for ten years prior to taking the job in Casper and moving his family to the Great American West. Sports have always been in his DNA- not only was he an avid basketball player at the University of Dubuque, but he also coached college basketball + track & field at Indiana University East, along with coaching High School basketball at his alma mater in Bellevue, IA. Though Tyler and his family are fairly new to the area, they're excited to continue exploring Natrona County and discover all there is to experience in our wonderful community. Growing up on a farm helped shape his determination and drive in all things he puts his mind to. He is anxious to challenge himself on this career path and looks forward to building and maintaining community and partner relationships.
Terri Weinhandl
Executive Assistant
Visitors@VisitCasper.com
Let us introduce you to Terri, our fearless Executive Assistant on the Visit Casper team. As a transplant from Northern Minnesota, Terri's love for rural areas and passion for community all assisted her well when her and her husband moved to the Oil City to start a life and a family together. Fast forward thirty years, two daughters and two spunky grandkids later, and she can't imagine calling any other place home. In her role she is looking forward to staying in the know on all things Casper and shedding a positive light on not only our office, but the community as a whole. When Terri is not keeping the Visit Casper team at our best, you can find her walking alongside the North Platte River on a beautiful afternoon and chasing her busy grandkids around town.
Luke Gilliam
Business Development Manager
Luke@VisitCasper.com
Luke is a Texas native and moved to Casper in the Fall of 2015. Luke's love for this city comes from the community's pride in their history and excitement about their future. As the Business Development Manager, his favorite part of his job is having the opportunity to sell everything that Casper has to offer and representing the community and its business owners at conferences and sales meetings around the nation. Luke's "go-to" tourist attraction is Hogadon Basin Ski Area, as it's not only an incredible space for outdoor adventure, but it also has one of the best views of Casper and is a great place to catch a sunset. Outside of the office, Luke can often be found snowshoeing or hiking Casper Mountain with his wife and dog.

Amanda has always found Casper to be mighty- as a local with deep roots here, she has loved watching the community bloom into a bustling city. A community full of character and opportunity without ever losing that small town Wyoming feeling, is what makes it home. As the Destination Experience Coordinator at Visit Casper, she is eager to breathe new life into not only the local community, but into the industry as a whole. Although there are so many things to be proud of, her favorite thing to revel in is Casper's kindness and welcoming nature. She believes that Natrona County and the people that call it home, have a way of leaving a lasting impression. In our office and around town, you can find Amanda sharing her best kept hideaways and setting beauty trends.
