Despite being born in rural Missouri, Timothy Thompson was raised in Phoenix and claims the Grand Canyon State as his home. After graduating from North Canyon High School, he went to college and earned a bachelor’s in communications. However, after a brief stint as a marketing director for a computer software company, he realized he wanted to make a bigger impact and difference in life. A local charter school hired him to teach 5th grade and he immediately found his passion and joy. He went back to school to earn his teaching certificate, and eventually, a Master’s in Educational Leadership. He taught throughout the Cartwright School District for 7 years before he moved to the Dakotas, on the Sioux Reservation. While in the Dakotas, he served as a high school teacher and secondary principal for 8 years.
