Tyler Blue, Neighbor

Tyler Blue hails from the booming town of Danville, Ill., which is now known as the birthplace of Dick Van Dyke but, if everything goes as planned, will one day be known as the hometown of Tyler Blue.

He attended the University of Dayton where he double majored in journalism and religious studies. He was also a three-year letterman for the Flyers' football team, where the coaches were kind enough to let him on the field occasionally (Sometimes even when a game was going on).

Upon graduation, he worked as an intern in the book department of St. Anthony Messenger Press before attending graduate school at Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism.

Currently, Mr. Blue lives and works in Evanston, though he's still a diehard Illini fan.
