Recovering Heroin Addict & Drug Abuse Interventionist; A&E’s “Dope Man” & National Thought Leader on Opioid Epidemic, Addiction, Mental Health & Suicide
Tim Ryan Biography
A tireless advocate for long-term recovery, Tim Ryan is no stranger to addiction. Despite a successful business career, Ryan found himself in the grips of heroin and, ultimately, was sentenced to seven years in prison for drug-related convictions. He got clean and sober behind bars.
Six months after his release, tragedy struck. His son, Nick – for whom Ryan had paved the way to use deadly drugs – died tragically from an overdose. Reaching beyond the devastation and heartbreak, Ryan used Nick’s death as the inspiration to spread hope, believing that if even one addict or family could be spared the horrors of addiction, he would make a difference. As a result, he founded A Man in Recovery Foundation, a nonprofit that helps anyone find treatment and recovery.
Today, Ryan is the subject of the A&E documentary, "Dope Man" and has been a featured thought leader in numerous national media, including USA Today, Newsweek, Chicago Tribune, and “The Steve Harvey Show with Dr. Drew,” “The Doctors,” “Inside Edition,” and a number of nationally syndicated radio shows. He was an invited guest to the 2016 State of the Union Address. He is the author of the bestselling book, "From Dope to Hope" and was written up in 2018 in Real Leaders Magazine “as one of the Top 100 Visionary Thought Leaders" in the world.
Ryan and his wife, Jennifer Gimenez, share a top-rated podcast, The Tim and Jenn Show and are also interventionists assisting families worldwide.
