Timothy Benson

Hello! My name is Tim, I am first and foremost a follower of Christ, and I'm also a 2nd year Elementary School Music Teacher just outside of Knoxville, TN! I'm so excited to use my love for writing to try and help people with different topics. Some of my interests include: personal finance from a biblical perspective, real estate/investing, budgeting/money management, education, music, teaching/classroom management, cooking, health/fitness, and traveling. While I mostly will stick to Christianity, finance and teaching, I do enjoy these other hobbies as well.

I was born in the small town of Kingston, TN in 1996, where I was raised by my mom and step-dad. In May 2018, I graduated with my Bachelor's in Music Education from Carson-Newman University in Jefferson City, TN. I plan on attending graduate school in the next year for Christian Counseling, but hope to also start an online business helping people understand finance, anxiety, emotions, etc. from a biblical perspective.

Outside of teaching, I play the piano for my church, assist with the Youth Group, volunteer at Children of Hope ministries, and teach piano lessons. I enjoy working out and staying active, trying out healthy recipes, traveling, and enjoying time with friends and family. I have also just finished up "flipping" my first house and plan on selling soon.

I currently reside in Morristown, TN with my dog Roxy.
