Changes

After living in Colorado for a few years, Ty decided to enroll at WSCU in Gunnison, where he is currently studying.  It was here, under the guidance of Dr. Chris Greene, where Ty began his work with local non-profit (ICE Project), and launched two companies, (Gearhere LLC & Reifeis Lacrosse LLC).  Driven to make an impact, Ty spent his first year at Western working with the ICE (Innovation, Creativity, Entrepreneurship) Club on campus.  He helped put on a pumpkin launch, a rail-jam, and a speaker series hoping to build the on-campus ecosystem.  Ty then helped to bring the Kaufman Foundation coffee meetup, 1 Million Cups, to the Gunnison Valley and is currently a lead organizer for the event.  Now, as a University Innovation Fellow, Ty hopes to work with the previous four Fellows, and the three current ones to make a greater impact that will improve the learning experience for future Western students.
