Tim's Place

What is Tim's Place?

Opened in May 2010, Tim's Place is a resturant in Albuquerque, New Mexico opened by Tim Harris, a 25 year old young man with Down Syndrome. Tim worked throughout high school as a host at Red Robin. Here is a short bio about Tim that I pulled from the Tim's Place website.

"The famous quote from Walt Disney, "If youcan dream it, you can do it" has been the driving force behind the life of Tim Harris. Born in 1986 with Down Syndrome, Tim's life has been defined by exceding expectations.

As a 2004 graduate of Eldorado High School in Alburquque, New Mexico, Tim was elected homecoming king by th highest margin of votes in school history. During gradulation week, Tim was also voted Student of the Year by th administration, faculty, and staff.
In the fall of 2004, Tim moved to Roswell, New Mexico to attend Eastern New Mexico University. Tim earned certificated in Food Service and in Office Skills and worked at a varity of local resturants including CiCi's Pizza, Golden Corral, IHOP, and Peppers Bar and Grill. Tim lived in a college dorm and gradulated in the summer of 2008.

After college, Tim worked as a host at Applebee's resturant in Albuqureque and has participated in Special Olympics competitions throughout Mexico. Tim enjoy's basketball, volleyball, poly hockey, track and field, and golf. He has won dozens of gold medals as a Special Olympian.

Tim spent much of 2009 and 2010 living aboard a sailboat with his parents and traveling throughout the Bahama's. Tim is now widwly known throughout the Bahama's and is an excellent sailor and offshore fisherman."

There is more to read about Tim and the beggingins of Tim's Place on the resturant website.

I think I'm going to buy a shirt from the website to support Tim since I will probably never get to actually eat there.

How wonderful! What an inspiring young man!!!

Until Next Time!

Lots of Love,
