Things you should know about me:

Hey there, I'm Tim, the Director of Purple Soup. I have delivered adventure therapy programs to children in 35 countries and have seen our programs make a huge different to the lives of children with chronic illnesses - and their families. I founded Purple Soup in 2002 to provide challenging activity-based programs for children and their families affected by serious illness, as there was nothing else like this in Australia, at the time.

What I'm interested in:

I love any adventure that needs a harness, a helmet and a medical team on standby!!

Things I am good at:

I have a BA in Recreation Management, and as well as working with children and their families, I am often engaged as a consultant and trainer in corporate adventure-based team development with some of Australia's leading companies.
