Tyler Ord is a rather typical 40 year old man. He works 8:30 to 5:00 at a boring but well paying office job, he has two beautiful children he loves dearly, he is a little out of shape but does enough jogging to keep himself chubby rather than fat, and right up until this morning he thought he had a pretty stable life.
