Ty comes from an entrepreneurial family, spending his childhood & teens in the cotton fields of Tulare (TO-LARRY), California, patching tires of 40 foot tall tractors, 2 miles deep in a field cresting @ sunset.

After a stint here, he entered the world of startups and worked at well-known names like Tango Card, Uber, & Doordash. 

A lover of the northwest, a fine scotch whisky & cigar, over the course of 10 years Ty's scaled early-stage marketplaces as "The Operations Guy", expanded into new markets @ Uber & Doordash, and forged teams, pioneered relationships, & pushed boundaries

This conversation was a hoot, Ty is a truthsayer, direct as nails, and a fountain of marketplace stories, making him a delight as a partner on this turbine journey into marketplace pandemonium.
