Ty and the Trenches

I’m part of the Doginal Dog community, what we call the number one community on X, a pack that shows up daily to learn, build, and connect with each other. Every night I’m live on CSN’s State of the Trenches with host RUU (@ruumeta) and fellow cohost Banks (@banksmetax). We hang out, vibe, and go deep on the things that actually matter in crypto: networking, community building, education, safety… and NFTs and memecoins of course!

Who is Ty?

I’ve been coaching since age 12—starting by helping with my little brother’s baseball practices, and I’ve spent the last five years teaching health, nutrition, and physical education across all grade levels. For the past four years I’ve also taught jiu jitsu to kids and adults, drawing on eight years of training. Now as a brown belt, frequent competitor, and multiple titleholder, I seek to open my own gym. My approach blends an educator’s mindset with a coach’s eye: clear fundamentals, safe progressions, and reps that turn concepts into habits.
