Ty Pennington stars as the lovable, off-the-wall, hunk-of-a-carpenter on The Learning Channel's hit show Trading Spaces. Additionally, Ty is the design team leader and carpenter for another major hit, ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. A model and actor who appeared in the role of aviation pioneer Wilbur Wright in the independent film "The Adventures of Ociee Nash," Ty is also the author of the "New York Times" bestselling book, "Ty Tricks," a compilation of handyman tips and how-to-projects.
