But Tim has risen to the challenge in every respect and is adding a new aspect to the legacy. In this week’s conversation with Zach Davis, Tim shares what it was like to grow up in his remarkable family, the motivation behind the important initiatives he is currently leading, and how his deeply-held Christian faith shapes all aspects of his life. Tim serves today as the CEO of Special Olympics and is also the founder of Unite, a national grass-roots organization dedicated to transcending seemingly intractable difference.
