Hello!  My name is Tyler Malotky, one of the School Counselors at iForward.  I've been at iForward since July 2020.  Welcome to our school!  I look forward to working with you and getting to know you better.  I hope you enjoy our unique learning experience as you work towards your educational and career goals with us. 

Professionally, I was a youth director for many years before obtaining my Master of School Counseling degree from St. Cloud State University in 2020.  I've also coached boys and girls swimming for 4 years and boys and girls golf for 2 years.  I'm excited to be a School Counselor at iForward due to its social and emotional focus, unique online platform, and passion to serve students and families.  I also help teach our Freshman Academy and Career Planning class, teaching HS success and college and career readiness.  Professionally, I'm a member of the Minnesota and Wisconsin School Counselors Association and frequently attend conferences and continuing education courses to keep on top of counseling and academic trends.

Personally, my wife (Katie) and I have been married for 13 years and have a 2 year old son. We enjoy spending time with family and friends outside boating, golfing, traveling, camping, hiking, watching sports, skiing, or playing board games.  Outside of school, if the ground isn't frozen, you can find me on the golf course.  Every summer, I golf 30+ rounds with family and friends.  I really enjoy fishing and hunting too, recently taking up bow hunting for deer.  A few years ago, I finally got a monster with my bow :)  One fun fact about me - we lived in Alaska for 5 years before moving back home to Minnesota.  Ask me about it sometime! 

Welcome to our school, I'm excited to get to know you and help you achieve success.  Please don't hesitate to reach out to discuss courses, career plans, academics, or life as a high school or middle school student.
