Tim is the host of “The Timo Show” pod cast where he interviews guests about their lives and how they overcame their hardships. Tim is a small business owner. Tim’s parents met as pen pals. In elementary school Tim was unable to make friends and spent most of his days alone. One of his teachers even purchased a small ball for him so that he would have something to play with at recess. Not only did Tim not have any friends but he was constantly made fun of. They made fun of his bright red hair, his homemade clothes and his “weirdness” In middle school Tim was bullied. Kids would seek him out to make fun and threaten him daily. Tim resorted to taking different routes around the school to avoid the torment. Once he even took a small pocket knife to school to stab the next kid that picked on him. Nobody made fun of him that day. One day a teacher approached Tim while he was eating lunch alone like he always did. The teacher invited him to join the theater. There Tim found his talents and friends.

His parents fought and his dad turned his anger onto Tim. Tim’s new found friends and positive outlook angered his dad who was failing. His father tried to control him, not allowing him to go anywhere and preventing his from seeing his friends. He wasn’t even allowed to talk to them on the phone. He felt like hw lived in a prison.
