Ty is a SoCal native, born and raised outside of LA. He didn’t hear the life-altering Gospel Story until college. Soon after he was compelled to go to seminary, eventually earning his MA in Biblical & Theological Studies from Westminster Seminary California. Before RUF, he most recently served as a Pastoral Resident at Denver Presbyterian Church, teaching and preaching regularly while overseeing the Youth Group and launching a Singles ministry. He met his lovely wife, Karen, while studying abroad in Israel. Their wild and friendly daughter, Mila, is one year old and she loves students!
Ty is honored to be at USC with RUF. He enjoys running, basketball (go Warriors!), traveling, reading, and meaningful conversations with friends. He is excited to turn students into coffee connoisseurs and foodies. Most of all, he can’t wait to witness spiritual friendships deepen and widen as students follow Jesus with everything they have.
