Tim is the first private citizen ever to be given the award.

Tim has an extensive public presence, with over 100 media publications for outlets such as Fox News, National Review, Christian Post, Washington Examiner, The Hill, The Jerusalem Post and many more. He has been quoted by AP News, USA Today, The New Yorker, Washington Times, Atlanta Journal Constitution, and others.

Prior to joining Faith & Freedom, Tim worked in public policy as the district director for a member of the Texas congressional delegation. He also has served as chief of staff and as policy advisor to members of the Texas Legislature and worked on the Republican Party of Texas’ 2010 Victory Texas effort.

Before working in public policy, Tim served as a missionary in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe and worked on staff at Antioch Community Church in Waco, Texas.
