My first martial arts instructor said to me: "Tim you are the kind of person who rises to the challenge, so you need to put yourself in more challenging situations." Living by this philosophy I have simultaneously owned 5 martial arts schools and before that two small clubs. I'm the owner of Next 1 UP Marketing. Accountability Coach for The Brotherhood. My love for story telling has brought me to opportunities as an actor for the Screen Actors Guild along with fight choreography on some really exciting films. My creative skills have helped me in all aspects of life including publishing podcasts, books, music, and art.
