Ty Schoenwald is all about adventure, connection, and community. A firefighter in Pasco, a passionate whitewater rafter and kayaker, a CrossFit coach, a skier, and even a Dungeon Master, Ty knows that belonging comes from shared experiences and showing up for others.

He's been building community his whole life—from volunteering as a firefighter while in college to leading epic rafting and ski trips, to bringing people together for Dungeons & Dragons nights at the gym (yes, really!). Whether it's a cribbage tournament on a rafting trip or a firehouse teamwork challenge, Ty embodies what it means to be a connector.
