fun facts
Dr. Tyce is a native of Pensacola, Florida and must return to the white sands and emerald waters regularly to commune with the sharks and rays along the coast. Formerly a music major in college, he now only plays for the Coker University Concert Band and for his own enjoyment. Jazz is life and he will force you to listen to Clifford Brown at some point. When he is not working, he prefers to spend time with his wife and best friend, Carmen. He also enjoys the company of his children when they decide to visit and the menagerie of animals that live in and around his house. During baseball season, Dr. Tyce has strong opinions about the designated hitter rule. During football season, Dr. Tyce has strong opinions about the NFL Overtime rules as well as lingering opinions on baseball's designated hitter rule. Dr. Tyce also enjoys cooking, watching Masterpiece productions on PBS, and lavishing undeserved praise on his favorite cat.
