Timothy Richardson: Ties For Change was started in Orlando, FL

SMM : How did you get involved in modeling?

Timothyb Richardson: I first signed with BMG in the summer of 2016, and now my newly signed agency Naturally Fit at the end of 2016. I'm still a novice but quickly gaining ground. I like to consider myself an artist more so than a model. I truly love putting together a body work or trying to pull off a new concept and see what captivating pictures I can capture. So in 2017 I will be releasing my first editorial that I'm pretty excited about.

SMM : How can people donate to (TFC) organization?

Timothy Richardson : Currently as it stands they can email [email protected]

SMM : Why did you take on the challenge to help these young men?

Timothy Richardson : I feel like we were all put on this earth to serve a purpose higher than ourselves. Service is is something I'm passionate about because I know I wouldn't be in the position I'm in if it weren't for those before me fighting for something bigger than themselves.

SMM : How did you learn to tie ties correctly?

Timothy Richardson : Funny story actually. It's actually a part of how Ties For Change was started. A gentlemen at Men's Wearhouse that took time for a little man who was motivated enough to ride his bike 8 miles just to learn. We spent 2 hours trying to teach me the concept but once I got it, I was equipped with the skill forever.
