Earning the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor was one of the defining moments of his life. Meritoriously promoted during boot camp and trained as a Field Radio Operator, Tim learned the principles that still guide him today — discipline, accountability, leadership, and an unshakable commitment to service.

After the Corps, Tim built a career from the ground up. He toured the country as a professional comedian — performing alongside legends like Aretha Franklin, Earth Wind & Fire, and Lionel Richie — before transitioning into the world of venture capital, business compliance, and entrepreneurship. He didn’t just talk about building things. He built them.

For the past decade in Central Florida, Tim has served as CFO of a successful animation and visual effects company, co-founded a faith-based film production company, and helped establish a private school now serving over 160 students.
