TVCC looks forward to Tyler's ability to step into the position and hit the ground running." --- Travis McFetridge, TVCC Vice President of Student Services

"I am thrilled to be able to call the Treasure Valley home once again. I am very appreciated for all of my past experience, but I am more appreciative for this opportunity at TVCC. It will be a welcome feeling to see my parents in the stands, donning that orange and blue, during a weekend double header. So many of my formative memories include competing in athletics throughout the Treasure Valley, including being on the campus of Treasure Valley Community College with family rooting from the stands. I cannot wait to begin this chapter of my life." --- Tyler Gaston, Incoming TVCC Director of Athletics

Gaston is set to step into his new role in July 2024.
