Ty in real life

What’s one thing you are surprisingly good at?

I’m surprisingly good at PC video games and Meta Quest virtual reality games.

Any words you try to live by?

Don’t measure yourself by what you’ve accomplished but by what you could have accomplished with your abilities. — John Wooden, former UCLA coach

How do you give back?

I am involved in several nonprofits, and I value lifting up others so they can succeed in life. Most of my time has been dedicated to breaking down barriers in education and human services. Learning new skills and gaining perspective can be the greatest equalizer in life, and I consider myself a perpetual learner.
