Tyler McSilva serves on SANCA’s Board of Directors, bringing a combination of circus performance, technical leadership, and community organizing. He performed for four years with the Gamma Phi Circus and spent two years teaching flying trapeze in Chicago before stepping away from circus for some time. He later returned to it through a Tramp Wall class at SANCA, which renewed his commitment to circus arts as both a discipline and a community.
He’s a Software Engineering Manager at his third startup and a content creator who drives grassroots charity campaigns and community-led fundraising. With experience across performance, technology, and organizing, he brings practical insight and creative momentum to SANCA’s mission to keep circus bold, inclusive, and transformative.
