Over the years, Tim has faithfully served his church in various capacities, including as an usher, deacon, and men’s Sunday School teacher.

Additionally, Tim has been an active member of the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Board of Elections.

Tim first learned about Freedom’s Hope through the men’s Bible study group at St. Mark’s Church, his home church. Inspired by fellow group members who volunteered there, Tim became involved as a volunteer before eventually joining the Board. He is deeply motivated by the vision of Freedom’s Hope founder, Charlotte Evans, whose mission to assist clients with immediate financial needs while connecting them to long-term resources strongly resonates with him. Tim finds great inspiration in this work and the positive impact it has on the community.
