Ty Svenson

I’m Ty Svenson, a junior in high school with a passion for learning, teaching, and exploring the history of the United States, especially the lives and legacies of its presidents. Since middle school, I’ve been fascinated by the stories of the people who have led our nation, and I’ve dreamed that one day I might even become President myself. While that’s an ambitious goal, I plan to study political science, earn a law degree, and pursue a career in public service. Creating Presidents Unplugged has allowed me to deepen my knowledge while sharing my passion for presidential history with others. Being part of a small school community has given me opportunities to grow as a leader and make the most of every experience. Through Presidents Unplugged, I hope to inspire others to discover America’s history and appreciate the leaders who have shaped our nation.
