If you are my age, you probably remember the ABC reality series Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. You know. The one where that guy yells "Move that bus!" before revealing a renovated home. That guy is Ty Pennington. He led an eight person design team to renovate family's homes and the show ran for 10 years.
Born on October 19, 1964, Ty started his career as a model for J. Crew, Diet Coke, and Levi's, to name a few. He later became a set designer.
In 2000, Ty joined TLC's Trading Spaces as the show's original carpenters. He then picked up a role in an independent film, The Adventures of Ociee Nash, before being selected for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. The show ran from 2003 to 2013.
During that time, I remember shopping at Sears with my family and seeing the Ty Pennington Style line all over the store. You couldn't escape it. I think we bought a few bedding and home decor that had his name on it.
Ty was everywhere. Even in kid's shows. He played Ty Ty the Tool Guy on Wow Wow Wubbzy and appeared in Phineas and Ferb.
