Tim Green is a retired NFL player that writes award-winning fiction. Born in 1963 in Liverpool, New York, Green’s education included stints at Liverpool High School and Syracuse University. He joined the Atlanta Falcons in 1986. Though, he continued to study law whilst also pursuing his writing career.

By the time he retired from the NFL in 1994, Green had plenty of options to choose from where his future was concerned. He contributed his talents to several shows, including ‘Fox NFL Sunday’, ‘Find My Family’, and ‘A Current Affair’.

The first few years of the author’s life were spent writing fiction for adults. But it wasn’t until he turned his attention towards fiction for young readers that his publishing star exploded. To promote his work, Green started visiting schools and speaking to children.

He quickly found that he had a passion for the hundreds of thousands of kids that kept gathering to hear his message. Green hasn’t stopped encouraging children to pursue their dreams. He keeps emphasizing the fact that, as a child, he dreamed of becoming an NFL player. However, his desire to write novels was just as strong.

And as an adult, he eventually achieved both dreams. Green wants young people to prioritize kindness and personal relationships rather than money and fame. He wants students to realize that there is more to life than the glamour that Hollywood promotes.

A husband and father of five children, Green is quite active in the legal field. He spent several years with a firm (Barclay Damon LLP) that expanded its reach within the fields of energy and intellectual property because of Green’s efforts.

The author eventually joined forces with Scott Brenneck (Former Assistant District Attorney) to form a criminal defense firm.

Tim Green attracts a lot of respect because of his versatility. The fact that he went to law school while playing in the NFL shocks most people. Green imputes the decision to his mother, a teacher, who was always emphasizing the importance of education.

As a young athlete, Green saw several older players whose lives crumbled once their NFL careers ended. Green knew that his own career would end one day, and he studied Law because he wanted a second career upon which he could fall back once he retired.

Green admits that his schedule was quite hectic. It took him six years (rather than three) to graduate because he could only study in the spring semester. He would take his classes in the morning, train in the afternoon, and then care for his wife and children at night.

Squeezing writing into that equation wasn’t easy but he succeeded. Green wrote several suspense novels before a Harper Collins creative director reached out to him. After realizing that he was a former NFL player, she asked Green to use his experiences in the NFL to write fiction for children. This conversation compelled the author to write “Football Genius” which became a bestseller.

Tim Green Awards

Green won the Buckeye Children’s Book award for “Perfect Season”. He has been nominated for Mark Twain Readers, Golden Archer, Isinglass Teen Read, Iowa Teen, and Truman Readers Awards, to mention but a few.
