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
Operations Manager
Terri@VisitCasper.com
Let us introduce you to Terri, our fearless Operations Manager 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.
