Support for Fort Worth's Black Chamber Growing. Here's How.

As Board Chair of the Fort Worth Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce, Ty Stimpson took center stage at the organization's annual meeting at Texas Wesleyan University. The article chronicles the chamber's remarkable financial turnaround — from $250,000 in annual revenue in 2021 to $890,000 in 2025 — and the strategic work done to protect minority- and women-owned businesses amid shifting government contract policies. Stimpson praised CEO Michelle Green-Ford's resilience through a difficult year: "You never thought that anything was wrong. She never missed a beat." He closed with a characteristically forward-looking note: "The future is bright."

Football Raised Ty Stimpson. The Law Called Him.

Fort Worth Inc. traces the unlikely arc of Ty Stimpson's journey from the Friday night football fields of Arlington Martin High School to the courtrooms of Fort Worth. A walk-on at Baylor who blew out his knee playing flag football, Stimpson found his calling not on the gridiron but in a New York City conversation over Yankees tickets — an encounter with an attorney that sent him straight to law school. He earned his J.D. from Thurgood Marshall School of Law at Texas Southern University and his Master of Laws from St. John's, where he also worked for the NFL as a graduate attorney. Today he leads Varghese Summersett's Personal Injury Law division across four Texas offices. The profile accompanies his recognition as a 2025 Fort Worth Inc. 40 Under 40 honoree.

How a Former Athlete Turned Fort Worth Lawyer Hopes to Lead with His Heart

The Fort Worth Report profiles Stimpson at a pivotal moment in his civic rise — the year he was named Fort Worth Chamber's Young Professional of the Year. The piece digs into his tenure as a Tarrant County prosecutor under DA Sharon Wilson, where he helped architect the county's first Mental Health Jail Diversion Center. "The Mental Health Jail Diversion Center is to this day one of my fondest professional accomplishments," he says. "Incarceration is not the answer." His wife Jordan offers a window into who he is off the clock: "He's one of those people who, when he's on your team, you know everything's gonna be OK." The article also covers the launch of his podcast, "Take This Down with Ty Stimpson," as a platform for amplifying DFW community voices.

"I'm always trying to make sure that when I do things or I put myself out there, it's aligned to what my values are."
