Tyʼs focus in his work is incorporating uplifting and spirituality encouraging themes with real-life narratives.

Ty recently graduated from the University of Texas Radio-Television-Film Department in 2016, and concluded his college career with his newest project called HANDICAPABLE, a short documentary about three amputees who defied the odds to become a local hero, an Olympic gold medalist and an advocate who fights for the lives of others.
