“Tim has a great superpower - his positivity. As both a teammate and a leader, Tim always keeps spirits, energy and the ambitions of what’s possible on a high, no matter what challenges present themselves. Tim’s altitude of positivity may be due in part to the fact that he is also a pilot and is often seen flying at 30,000 feet along the California coastline.”
