What’s that you hear? Thunderous laughter?! He doesn't need any introduction. You'll hear him before you see him. Lord Ty is here to cause international kinky mayhem. He's World Bear 2024, The Self-Appointed King of Bear Hugs.
A young emo dad bear at heart, he travels around the kinky world to lend his services out wherever he shows up. From serving as "judge's bear" for International Mr. Leather 2025-2026 to speaking on panels about what it means to be “authentically you,” he is there to aid the community at large by providing back-breaking bear hugs and terrible dad jokes.
He flags red on the left and hunter green and navy blue on both sides. His main kinks are impact play, hypnosis, and sensory deprivation.
Outside of the kinky world, he's helping create more safe spaces in the LGBTQIA+ community. He was elected to the board of Scream Queens Coaster Community, a nonprofit for LGBTQIA+ roller coaster fans and allies. The community celebrates thrills and inclusivity because “No one rides alone.”
His life motto is “When you are ready, be a lighthouse, because you never know who is trying to swim home.” By being active in his community, he guides the next generation of kink and queer members to be more confident, take center stage, and be thunderously loud but sincerely humble.
