Leadership

Ty‘s story is one of redemption, grit, and relentless purpose. A former alcoholic, Ironman athlete,

and single father of four, he knows what it means to hit bottom—and rise stronger.

An Eagle Scout, rodeo cowboy, and longtime construction professional, Ty was raised with old-

school grit and a drive to work hard. But addiction caught up with him. Recovery—and the 12 steps

—gave him a second chance. Through endurance sports, discipline, and faith, he rebuilt his life

from the inside out.

Now a professional interventionist and founder of Forge Recovery Academy, Ty leads by example

—helping young men trade rock bottom for responsibility, purpose, and strength that lasts
