Community Involvement
Ty and his wife Amie are strong supporters of the communities they do business in. The historic buildings of Colorado City are a special passion for them with the pair currently on their sixth large scale project. Their restoration of the historic Mooar Brothers Livery Stable, a 9000 sq. ft. mixed use project (which now houses both Ty’s office and their family’s loft apartment) was featured in publications such as the The Abilene Reporter News, The Austin Statesmen, Livestock Weekly, the Midland Reporter, the Lubbock Avalanche Journal and the Texas Bar Journal.
Ty and Amie recently oversaw the restoration and renewed operation of Fisher Park when the classic West Texas camping and fishing destination located on Lake Champion, south of Colorado City, was slated for closure.
