Ty worked in construction as a mason, plumber, HVAC Technician, and sheet metal. He was employed with Harold Shucks for a number of years. After that, he went on to work at Advance Novelties warehouse as a supervisor and then went on to have his own sales route. During his time there, he also started a small personal candle business called, Candle of Scents.

As a child, Ty was an avid Dallas Cowboys fan. As a teen, he had a passion for guitars as everyone who knew him knew. He played in a few local bands as a rhythm guitarist and later in his years, he was a self-taught audio engineer. Ty was an avid Sprint Car fan. He and Layton attended many races together. He became a photographer for Sprint Cars and operated a push truck at tracks like Eldora and Millstream following the World of Outlaws. His love for racing also extended to NASCAR watching it every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Later in life, Ty turned his love of old pen and paper Dungeons and Dragons into a passion for online massive multiplayer role-playing games like Runescape and Dungeons and Dragons online.
