A northern NJ original, Ty (he/him) left the congestion of the East for the great landscapes and ecosystems of the West. Ty’s been lucky enough to have lived in Washington, Colorado, Arizona and recently wrapped up 7 years of full-time van life exploring the entire US. Ty brings almost 20 years of experience in the conservation non-profit ecosystem, creating new and strategic programs for stewardship, education, and recreation management.

As a passionate hiker, climber, fly angler, and all things outdoors, Ty is thrilled to dive deep into the Swan Valley ecosystem, its community, and the rest of the surrounding Crown of the Continent.
