He began his sexual journey through escorting where he worked with a number of clients from different backgrounds and all walks of life ranging from couples, individuals, poly relationships, and everything in between. He then went to obtain his advanced diploma in Business Management and graduated with honours. Combining his knowledge of sex and business, he decided to combine the two fields to start his journey as a sex educator delivering workshops, speaking on panels, shows, and podcasts, and providing expert advice on sexual health publications. In his free time, Tim likes to volunteer and give back to the community through outreach in Toronto’s LGBTQ+ scene providing sex education and harm reduction resources to the public. It is his mission in life to make sex fun and funny as he loves to make people laugh and believes in the curative powers of hilarity. Sex is already a sensitive and touchy subject. We might as well laugh at the fart noises!
