A faith-driven young man, Timothy has dedicated his life to motivating and inspiring others. He attended Erwin High School in Birmingham, Alabama, and was ranked the eighth-best high school football player in the state.

He had the opportunity to play for any college in the country when he was involved in a life-changing car accident in 2006, leaving him paralyzed from the neck down. Doctors said he would never be able to read, write, twist or talk again. Timothy was left to find his purpose when his life was very different from his original plan.
