Conditioning for excellence has been the theme of Tim’s life since childhood. Reaching beyond the norm and preparing to dwell amongst the best in whatever objectives he chose has guided his path to success. As a three-sport (football, basketball, and track) athlete and honors student at Peach County High School in Fort Valley, GA, Tim excelled on the field of play and in the classroom. Upon graduating in 1988, he received a number of college scholarship offers for football. He chose Howard University over more notable football programs. At Howard, Tim continued a prosperous scholastic and football career. He has the distinction of being the first Athlete in the history of the school to be named to the GTE Academic All-America Team. Tim was also named All-Conference, All-American, and Defensive Player of the Year in each of his final two college seasons. Scholastically, he was chosen by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences to participate in the National Name Exchange for outstanding academic achievement by juniors and seniors and was selected a lifetime member of the Golden Key International Honour Society. Tim completed his undergraduate studies earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Fashion Merchandising and Business Marketing 1992. He also completed Post-Graduate studies in Athletic Administration.

He went on to have a well-traveled 7-year professional football career, playing alongside such NFL legends as Joe Montana, Marcus Allen, and Ronnie Lott. During his career he served as a Captain for both the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. On his way to reaching the pinnacle of his career Tim met the anticipated obstacles and detractors. However, he believed that nothing could stand in the way of his achieving greatness. He credits proper preparation, attitude, motivation, relationships, and information for his continued success.
Tim has been able to catapult his personal business ventures by applying the wisdom of time-tested lessons from the “gridiron” and everyday life. In addition to Life Coaching and general Speaking engagements Tim serves as a Financial Services Specialist with State Farm Insurance.

He is also a Certified Life Coach, Small Business Coach, Corporate Wellness Coach, Certified Personal Fitness Trainer, and Certified Training Director.
Tim and wife Audrey live in Atlanta, GA. He’s also the proud father of three children: Tre’ (7/96), Lexi (7/97), and Christian (5/99).
