CrimeCon 2018

The popular law enforcement expression: “Life is a circus, and cops get front-row seats for free” reveals the unique vantage point law enforcement personnel have on everyday life.

Tim takes the audience on a wild ride around-the-world recounting his escapades on multiple continents, with a wide array of true tales beginning with his time as a cop on the violent streets of St Louis, his work as an undercover FBI narcotics agent in Miami, Caracas, and Bogota, and his time as a counter-terrorism agent scurrying around the Middle East and Africa.

From more mundane stories such as shooting victims who have no idea they’ve been shot – to a Russian Roulette player who doesn’t know he’s supposed to use a revolver, not a semi-auto pistol, to a young man who’s upset that his best pair of pants has been damaged in a shooting attempt, only to be informed by Tim that the pants are the least of his worries.

On a more global scale, Tim regales his truly unbelievable experiences in the wilds of the Dark Continent, from being “kidnapped” by the AK-47 wielding gunmen of an African Warlord, disco dancing with the ‘Butcher of Hargeisa,’ to interviewing candidates and personally selecting the new Prime Minister of Somalia.

Few people have such a diversity of real-life experience, and far fewer have lived to tell their tales as Tim can, which is why he has transitioned from living on the edge, to telling stories of life on the edge, as a consultant and writer for TV and feature films. Tim has written scripts for hit TV shows “NCIS: Los Angeles”, “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders”, “The Unit”, and “Lie To Me”, and has two feature films currently preparing for production: “38”, and “Secret Soldiers”.
