About Tim Join Tim's Facebook Fan page!
Tim Green says he enjoys writing for kids because it seems to him that only yesterday, he was a kid... As a boy, Tim had two dreams: playing in the NFL and becoming a best-selling author. Both of those dreams have come true. After studying writing at Syracuse University where he was an All American football player, Tim was drafted in the first round of the NFL draft by the Atlanta Falcons where he was a top defensive player for eight years. While Tim played in the NFL, he also studied law and began his writing career. By the time he retired from football in 1994, Tim had already published his first book and become a lawyer. In addition to those two jobs, he began working as a television broadcaster for FOX NFL Sunday and other shows like Battlebots, Good Morning America, Court TV, A Current Affair, and most recently, Find My Family. After writing more than a dozen books for adults, many of them best-sellers, Tim began writing a series of novels for young readers which are set in a world of sports taken from his own experiences as an athlete and a coach. These stories, which include the #2 New York Times Bestseller, UNSTOPPABLE, as well as the best-selling Football Genius and Baseball Great series, have sold over a million copies. In the meantime, Tim has visited over 600 schools and spoken to more than 250,000 students across the United States about the importance of education and character in addition to the joys and benefits of reading! Educators across the country praise Tim's books for reeling in the reluctant reader, while delivering inspiring, page-turning stories. Tim serves on the board of the Golisano Children's Hospital as well as the National Writing Project. He lives with his wife, Illyssa, their five kids, and two dogs in Upstate New York. When Tim isn't writing, he enjoys boating, fishing, hunting, reading, and spending time with his family and friends.  Check out the video!
