In 2019, KJ celebrated his 20th season in minor league baseball - 18 of them with the Brooklyn Cyclones before joining the IronBirds in 2018. Born and raised in Queens, KJ had some adjusting to do since moving from the big city. To stay active and engaged, KJ is out and about Maryland in his "Lyft Machine". His mission; to fight injustice, to right that which is wrong and to serve all humankind (by offering bottled water and phone chargers to Lyft riders).

Tyler joined the IronBirds in July of 2017. Having "semi-local" ties growing up in Southern York County in Pennsylvania, Tyler used to attend IronBirds games as a kid with his father and even has a foul ball to prove it.

Starting off in group sales, moving to business to business marketing and now holding the position of Marketing, Community and Media Manager for the IronBirds has left Tyler very thankful and enjoys coming to work every day. Tyler wrapped up his Master's Degree from Liberty University Online in Sports Marketing and Media in May of 2020 and is 99% certain he is done with school for good. Tyler married in September of 2019 to his superhero wife, Hannah, a Registered Nurse in Pennsylvania.
