A business owner since 1990, he watched his own company healthcare costs rise annually, directly affecting the company’s bottom line. In addition, his employees’ costs were rising on the healthcare he provided, and he knew that the current model was not serving his company nor his employees well. Now serving as the CEO of Solveglobal, Tim believes that disrupting the current healthcare model is the only way to lower employer costs and improve employees’ vitality. He also knows that movement specialists are the individuals who will positively impact our society’s health at the population and individual level.Tim holds a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of North Dakota, along with a Fellowship of Applied Functional Science (AFS) through the Gray Institute.
