EMBRACE THIS LIFE - Tim McLoone

The next guest on my Embrace This Life podcast is the incredibly-successful restaurateur/philanthropist, Tim Mcloone. Tim McLoone is the premier definition of a renaissance human being. He was schooled at Harvard and is accomplished in music, athletics, and business. He opened his first restaurant in October of 1987, McLoone's Rum Runner, located on the Shrewsbury River in Sea Bright, New Jersey. From there, he touched every facet of his ever-growing restaurant business to be sure that the McLoone brand remained strong across the board, with locations like Pier Village, Long Branch, West Orange, Woodbridge, Maryland, and the amazing Supper Club in iconic Asbury Park...all a direct result of Tim McLoone's vision, passion, and enthusiasm. He's done broadcast work for the U.S. Olympic Trials, was part of the Emmy Award-winning broadcast team for the New York and LA Marathons, directed the U.S. Men's Olympic Trials in 1996 and served as musical director of the Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting Ceremony for NBC. His selfless philanthropic work includes the forming of Holiday Express in 1993....a non-profit charitable group of over 100 professional musicians and hundreds of other volunteers who create free Holiday events for 50 organizations who are in need of good cheer between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve for the past 20 years. He performs with his band The Shirleys, as well as does a solo act. Hear how he makes it all work, what & who inspired him, and how he keeps it all going...with passion, drive and heartfelt empathy for those in need.
