David Bolt:
"Ty and I worked together for nine years. We were fellow classroom educators, we were fellow Program Directors, then I became Dean and oversaw him directly. Ty is that rare combination of outstanding classroom teacher and highly effective administrator. As the Program Director of the Game Art & Design (GAD) Program, he literally brought the program into existence. He has taught virtually every course in the curriculum. He is an inspiration to the faculty he leads and a mentor to the hundreds of students he has overseen. His department is always on budget and he has never failed to run every class, every term, without exception. I would recommend Ty highly."
