Timothy Tyson Reviews

  • Tim did not seem comfortable engaging in all activities and the speech felt more like a classroom lecture rather than a keynote. But he was great in the classroom/small group visit and students really enjoyed conversation with him. Tim was kind, friendly, congenial, and had great personal interactions.
