Grand Rapids, Mich., May 13, 2019— Ty Pennington is sharing much of his personal story for the first time. In Life to the Extreme: How a Chaotic Kid Became America’s Favorite Carpenter (available May 14), Pennington describes his early life in Georgia where he organized neighborhood kids to build his first treehouse, to being diagnosed with ADHD in his college years, to accidentally becoming a model and a carpenter, to achieving incredible television success on the hit shows Trading Spaces and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Pennington’s life has been one incredible adventure after another.
Pennington will launch the book with major national media in New York City this week, including the TODAY Show on Wednesday, May 15, and FOX & Friends on Thursday, May 16.
