A South Side native of Chicago, Timothy was born into an opportunity that would shape the course of his esteemed hopes and dreams. Life on the rough streets of Chicago gave Timothy a front row seat to the detriment that ultimately claimed the life of his brother, Victor Jr., who was brutally murdered by a friend over a disagreement that amounted to less than $3.00.

Although the loss of his brother took its toll, Timothy used this adversity as a springboard, becoming steadfast in accomplishing the highest of goals and achievements set before him. He received a bachelor’s degree in Communications and went on to receive a Masters in Business Administration, both from the University of Illinois – Springfield.

Timothy is a family man – he loves spending time with his wife, Brandi, and being a doting father to two beautiful daughters, Alexis and Khrystiana. It is his life’s dream to see them all attain the highest achievements and be a beacon of light that shines for others to follow.
