In the years between 1994-2006, Ty spent his time in Denver wearing many hats in the music scene, let's share how many:

Patron, Bartender, Short Order Cook, Bouncer, Doorman, Manager, Booking Agent, Musician, Soundman, TV associate producer, Friend, Roadie and the occassional drive someone home after they got drunk.

Ty played bass guitar for primarily Depth Charge in the 2000's, but spent time with 421 and a brief stint with a Metallica cover band. He wore most of his hats working at Pinke's between the years 2001-2007. Pinke's changed entertainment formats(Thanks Merauder) from live music to DJ/Techno nightclub aka The Church/Vinyl/Deadbeat Club with ownership believing it would be less politics and more profitable. They went 0 for 2 before closing it's door permanently in the summer of 2007.

Ty entered the underground/indie film community and produced several short films that didn't garner much response, but he found what he wanted to do- write. He penned an independent feature titled "Professor Kimmer's Initiation" in which we ask if Satan himself can save a marriage under the vows of God back in 2017. His older brother Rob died during that time, and after much deliberation- decided to go to Southern California to see if he had what it took to succeed in screenwriting.

The answer was yes. And he successfully created two television series pilots along with series bibles(but no pitch deck, that's a producer's job). Influenced by The Sopranos, Sons Of Anarchy, The Wire, House Of Cards and Downton Abbey- Ty believes in serious gritty entertainment that never pulls it's punches with the intention of leaving the audience wanting more and never getting enough.

This is Ty's first creative non-fiction book. He is heavily influenced by the inventor of "Fratire", Tucker Max as well as the legendary sports writer from Sports Illustrated/ESPN Rick Reilly.

Ty continues to play bass guitar in a studio-only project called Suncager, doing reboots of classic songs. He and his wife Kathy live in Los Angeles with their feline son, Molesley.
