Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Ty moved to Sussex, New Brunswick when he was ten. He moved to Fredericton in 2014 to study film at the University of New Brunswick, from which he recently graduated. Ty writes, directs and edits projects of his own, and has shot projects for others. He has been known to act as Script Supervisor on various shoots as well.

I was an Executive Producer for a short film, My Younger Older Sister where I worked with the writer-director on the script, the casting, and the editing as well as taking part in the filming process. This experience made me go from thinking I wanted to work in film to knowing it. From there I moved to England and searched for any opportunity I could get.
