Ty Loyd-Calhoun

Ty Loyd-Calhoun was born in New Jersey and graduated from Gibbs High School in St.

Petersburg, FL. He would later earn his degree from Tennessee State University, the same alma

mater of Wilma Rudolph and Oprah Winfrey. After having three beautiful children and searching

within his soul, he became inspired to create The Merry Meerkats Go series. He cares about children

and believes that they are our future. Due to problems with the new digital age and the old common

parental settings not being a standard family, he feels it is important to reach and teach children

before the world or environment is given the opportunity to. He recognizes that small things can

leave a big impact on anyone’s life. It is his hope that The Merry Meerkat Go series can be beneficial

and bring merriment to children around the world!
