Season II of the Butterfly Pavilion Podcast kicks off with our mutual Denver Broncos History dating back to the '60's at the original Mile High Stadium as season ticket holders. We talk about early era Broncos games, player "star struck" encounters, Super Bowls, Ty creating the "Hulk" banner that hung in the South Stands where Shannon Sharpe would "tap" after scoring in the south end zone, and Nikki's memories as a Denver Broncos Junior Cheerleader.

The Butterfly Pavilion Podcast is a father and daughter podcast about his stage IV cancer journey and trying to find light in darkness along the journey. Ty also has long Covid. 

Ty's long Covid journey started in early 2020 with a mild onset of Covid but within six weeks, he could no longer run. He endured a 100 day fever that year that lead to a long medical journey seeking answers at National Jewish Health, Mayo Clinic, and RTHM Long Covid Clinic. His long Covid diagnosis includes damage to his body; neuropathy, vasculitis, endothelial and mitochondria damage, blood clots, and inflammation. With a broken immune system his oncology team said that it either caused or exacerbated his stage IV cancer. 

Ty is a former telecommunications software sales executive, marathoner, triathlete that enjoyed traveling the world with his wife and family. Nikki lives close to dad and is in marketing and advertising. She now runs for dad since he can't.
