Our Team
Robert Anasagasti
CEO and Co-Founder
Robert is originally from Oceanside, CA but being the son of a US Marine, he had the opportunity to move frequently and experience life in different parts of the country. He graduated with a BA in Psychology from Claremont McKenna College. Not long after college, he moved to Arizona, where his 25 year long career in sales management took on many different challenging opportunities. Robert and his wife Terri were inspired to open Tyler’s Place because they have a teenage son with autism and they just could not find a good enough after school program for him. Robert enjoys traveling, tennis and the Arizona outdoors which means he likes to get out and go off roading with his son Tyler as often as he can.
“As a proud autism dad, my first priority will always be to make sure that our members have an engaging and uplifting experience when they set foot inside our facility.”
Terri Anasagasti
COO and Co-Founder
Terri is a very proud 4th generation AZ native. Before devoting herself fulltime to Tyler’s Place, she worked in the Chandler Unified School District for eight years. First, as a paraprofessional and then these last 5 years as a Special Education Sr. Administrative Clerk at the high school level. As the mother of a teenage son with autism, Terri understands what it is like to stand in our parents/guardians shoes and believes in keeping an open line of communication between families, vendors and the community so that our members can reach their full potential. In her free time, Terri enjoys spending time with her family/friends, traveling, being active, watching movies and gardening.
“It’s time we take our focus off disabilities, and place it on capabilities, so we can see the person first.”
