APS Radio: True Identity

Tim Spradlin

Tim Spradlin has done it all! Firefighter, fire chief, police officer, arson investigator, veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, awarded a Bronze Medal, and has three degrees. Despite all these achievements, Tim was depressed, drinking way too much, had family issues, and dealt with significant PTSD from all his experiences.

Saddle up for Tim’s journey from being addicted to achievements to becoming “ordinary Tim” and finding his true identity.
