IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT BUT FIX IT ANYWAY, like the others, were written like executive bathroom reading, explaining complicated issues with some humor and cartoons.
Tim then became heavily involved in volunteer work on many levels with many organizations. He noticed that many people wanted to get involved in something but didn’t know what or how. THE GOOD GUY HANDBOOK looks at an array of causes that might interest the reader. It suggests different organizations that might be helpful in focusing their efforts. Finally, the book teaches how to improve your not-for-profit skills in management and fund raising.
His next adventure was writing a series of books, stories, songs, games and lesson plans for an early education system. That is as difficult as it sounds. It is almost done with the need for a few more illustrations being the latest hold up. During his frustration a new fun idea came his way that quickly pushed him to THE BIG ROCK.
Tim has also written and performed in 11 different murder mystery theatre plays as fund raisers for various organizations or ministries. One such play, JESUS KNOWS THE BLUES, was a musical with 17 original songs, that was performed outside and inside prison in support of various prison ministry and aftercare organizations.
Tim’s primary career was selling commercial real estate in Buffalo New York. He and Linda followed their first grand child to Southern California 30 years ago. They started a Catering company that had three regular weekly events that created leftovers. Using that as a basis Tim created a Friday free lunch for the homeless that he served out of his church for 15 years.view less
