In his final Army assignment, he served at the Army's Infantry Combat Development Center, located at Fort Benning, Georgia as a senior procurement program manager.

During this time he was, responsible for the management and direction of Soldier procurement programs such as the life saving Interceptor Body Armor (IBA), Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH), the Army's next generation tactical parachute, the new Soldier as a System (SaaS) program and many others.
Ty retired from the military in 2003 and has since gone on to a very successful civilian career.
