Tyler Flowers

Relationship Manager, American AgCredit

Tyler Flowers grew up in a Mississippi farming community and graduated from MSU with a degree in Agricultural Economics. He wasn’t exposed to wine until he met a young woman who grew up in Sonoma Wine Country; he is now married to her and together they have a family. He’s interned for a US Senator, attended UC Davis’s Wine Executive Program, and has developed a passion for wine and viticulture. He joined American AgCredit a few years ago to manage relationships with some of their wine industry customers and recently joined the board of the Petaluma Gap Winegrowers. Here’s his story.
