Over the last several years, Tim worked with clients who struggled with addictions, both at a local detention center, an outpatient drug and alcohol program, and overseas. He became increasingly interested in this field of study and completed the requirements for licensure as a Chemical Dependency Counselor. He has taught clients and their family members the signs of abuse and addiction and how to deal with the devastating affects. He is a firm supporter of the 12 step programs in both Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Alanon and the education and support of which they offer.
