Tyler is originally from Chicago where he grew up in a strong parish community and went to Catholic school from Pre-K through High School. Not to mention a loyal Chicago sports fan! He now works in Denver as a Medical Device Representative for Abbott where he assists with the implant and programming of pacemakers. His favorite hobbies include running, skiing, and discovering the best food in CO. Tyler is looking forward to making an impact by bringing a young adult perspective to the group.

Hello! My name is Amando Vigil. I have been a parishioner at Good Shepherd for the past four years and I am currently in my second year serving on the pastoral council. My wife and I also serve on the Good Shepherd Young Adult leadership committee. The pastoral council has been a good opportunity for me to represent the voices of the young adults and I look forward to continuing to serve the community for the next year and a half. Outside of the parish, I work as a mechanical engineer designing the next generation of robotic surgical instruments. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor recreation and home improvement projects. My wife and I are usually the greeters at the 10:00 AM Mass on Sunday, so please introduce yourself. I look forward to meeting you and continuing to serve you.
