Troy was born to John and MaryAnne Lochner in Middleton, WI in the shadow of UW Madison, the youngest of three boys (Tim and Scott). During his childhood the family relocated across the border to Winona, MN, where he attended Cotter High and played in the marching band.
After high school, Troy went up north to St. John's University just outside of St. Cloud, MN, where he met great friends, made great memories, and got in some good travel experiences to S. Africa and Ireland.
Post-college, Troy stayed up near St. John's and started working on his budding movie career working productions with Quarterton. Through a little luck, he was picked up on his first major picture, A Serious Man by the Cohen brothers. From then on, Troy thought, well maybe this movie thinig is something that could become a career.
That inkling took him out to LA, which swiftly became an opportunity to work on set in Santa Fe, NM, where he (and Tiffany) got to experience living in the worst cell reception ever. After that, one movie has rolled into the next, and he eventually found his home within visual effects.
Outside of that, Troy loves photography, all things Mac (except for his recent deviation to the HTC One smartphone), and sports. His Wisconsin roots make him a Packer and Badger, but his MN upbringing also made him a Twins fan (go figure), and now that he's in LA, he supports the Kings, Lakers, and Clippers.
