MY EXPERIENCES


I feel lucky. For some reason, I decided to start companies at the age of 12 and speaking in front of large audiences at the age of 15. Because I started young, I’ve had more experience doing those than most people my age. I believe that with experience, people can become very good at what they do.

Now in my 30’s, I’ve sold companies, raised capital, won Best Places to Work, 30 under 30, and am almost always the highest rated speaker at the conferences I speak at. People like you give me the opportunity to give back in meaningful ways and help others learn what I’ve learned about marketing, leadership, generational differences, cyber security, starting companies, etc.

If you choose to have me speak at your event, I promise to inspire, WOW people, and ensure that attendees at all skill levels have actionable take-aways.

Started "Ty The Tech Guy"

When I was 12, I was up at my grandparents cabin. The family next door asked for a teenager to fix their computer. Being very extroverted, I responded with: "Well, I'm not a teenager yet... but I'm sure I can fix your computer!". My first payment as an entrepreneur was a pan of brownies!

First large speaking engagement

In Junior High, I attended one of those "Mega Churches". On confirmation day, I gave my testimony of how I came to Christ in front of about 500 people.
May 24, 2000

Second large speaking engagement

To graduate from St Paul Academy, I gave a speech in front of the entire junior high and high schools. That was an audience of about 750 people.

Attended my first entrepreneurship class

After running my computer repair company for 8 years, I built my first business plan for that company. It went from a $10k/yr company to $300k/yr in three years.
Feb 3, 2006

Started Modern Foundation

I knew it was a matter of time before businesses realized they could generate sales from the Social Media platforms. Several years later, I hired a President to run the company, it won repeated "Best Places to Work" awards, and grows consistently year after year.
