Who is Ty Pennington, Andrea’s partner?
Gary Tygert Burton was born in Atlanta, Georgia USA on 19 October 1964 – his zodiac sign is Libra and he holds American nationality. Ty is a TV host, author, carpenter, a former actor and model, and a philanthropist. Ty and his older brother were raised by Yvonne Burton, a school psychologist, in Atlanta – Yvonne and Ty’s father divorced when Ty was still very young and she spent years raising the two boys on her own before she remarried.
Yvonne’s second husband adopted the boys, which is how Ty got his last name of Pennington.
Ty became interested in carpentry at a very early age, mostly being self-taught – he attended Sprayberry High School in Marietta, Georgia before enrolling at Kennesaw State University, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in art and history in 1986. While at Kennesaw, he decided carpentry was not something he wanted to make career of, and therefore enrolled at the Art Institute of Atlanta, from which he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in graphic design.
During his first years at Kennesaw, Ty became a model after being approached by a modelling scout – he did print jobs for Swatch watches and Sprite soda, and appeared in several TV commercials for brands such as Coca Cola, Levi’s, and Bayer. His job as a model made it possible for him to travel around the world – some of his favorite places among those he has visited are Japan, Italy, and Germany.
He gained recognition after he began appearing in the “Trading Spaces” reality TV show in 2000, which aired on The Learning Channel – in 2003, he made his movie debut appearance in “The Adventures of Ociee Nash”.
Also in 2003 he was chosen to star in and lead a design team of eight people in the “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” reality TV show, which aired on ABC – this led to the creation of another show entitled “Ty’s Great British Adventure”, for which he had to move to Portreath in Cornwall, UK. In January 2012, Ty began shooting for “The Revolution” talk show.
Ty is the owner and designer of his own company called Furniture Unlimited, which has two offices in Atlanta and Los Angeles.
