UPDATE ON
TYLER MUZZI
Twenty-five years ago, three-year-old Tyler was looking over cotton blooms with his dad, Michael Muzzi. Today, he is the owner and operator of his own farm with crops to look over daily. After he graduated from North Sunflower Academy in Drew, he attended Millsaps College where he played lacrosse. He graduated from Delta State University with a degree in Athletic Management. He spent a few years in that field, but farming was calling him back home. In addition to his own farm, he works on the family farm, Muzzi Farms. He and his wife, Bethany, have three children, Emma, Ellis and Ellie. They live in Cleveland.
