Marketing

Ty is a marketing and creative leader with over 20 years of experience building brand strategy, digital marketing, and campaign execution for outdoor, environmental, and consumer lifestyle companies. As Associate Marketing Director at the Surfrider Foundation, he leads marketing projects from concept to delivery, ensuring campaigns are executed on time and communicate the organization's environmental mission clearly across every platform.

Prior to Surfrider, Ty spent over a decade as a Creative Director, leading design, web, video, product development, and print work for global brands including Red Bull, Jeep, Madewell, Hydro Flask, Monster Energy, American Eagle, Love Beauty & Planet, and REN Skincare. That background gives him a full-spectrum view of brand building — from creative concept through marketing strategy and final execution.

A Southern California native, Ty grew up surfing, snowboarding, and skateboarding, and that lifelong connection to board sports and the outdoors first drew him to environmental advocacy work. It continues to inform how he approaches authentic, mission-driven brand storytelling today.
