In many ways Ty Pennington is a unlikely celebrity. Born and raised in Married, Georgia, Pennington suffered from ADD as a child. He worked his way through college as a carpenter, earning a degree in graphic design at the Art Institute of Atlanta. He also took classes in painting and sculpture at the Atlanta College of Art. His big break came when he was "discovered" by a modeling agency talent scout. He appeared in a variety of TV and print ads for such clients as Sprite, J. Crew and Diet Coke. He became a TV star when TLC tapped him for Trading Spaces.

His infectious enthusiasm, easy charisma and skill as both a designer and a carpenter resonated with fans. So, when ABC was looking for a host for its prime time series Extreme Makeover, Pennington was the perfect choice. Today the carpenter from Georgia is a megastar. His TV show is a hit. He's the national spokesman for Sears with his own line of Ty Pennington Style Products. He didn't seek the spotlight -- it found him. But when opportunity knocked, he was ready and able to seize it.
