But he has dedicated every waking minute since walking out of prison to dealing hope to addicts and their families. As a recovering addict, Tim is now known as The Hope Dealer. He's also a successful entrepreneur, a nationally ranked barefoot water skier - and a truth-talking, convicted felon.

He was an invited guest to the 2016 State of the Union Address. * As a business leader in a high-tech industry, Tim made and lost millions. * As a father and husband, Tim paved the way for his own son to use deadly drugs.
