Hey everyone it’s Erin, and I hijacked today’s post for a very special reason…it’s Tim’s 30th birthday!
As some of you may know, Tim and I have known each other for about 15 years, and we have been together for almost 9.
I always knew Tim was driven to succeed, but I didn’t realize how truly hardworking and determined he was until he started CrossFit 908.
At first I thought he had gone mad (quitting his finance job, proposing to me, and starting up a CrossFit gym all in a few months’ time). To drop everything and start your own business was something that I viewed as somewhat crazy and definitely risky. I always supported him, but the first year was difficult since Tim (and 99% of his time) was completely dedicated to the gym.
For a while I questioned if the gym would work out for us – barely anyone had known about CrossFit at the time.
Slowly, more and more people heard about CrossFit 908 and gave it a try, and over time it became ours and many members’ second home. Tim created such an amazing community full of caring individuals all seeking out a healthier lifestyle. Seeing Tim’s dream come to fruition has been beyond fulfilling, and I am so thankful that he took the risk 4 years ago. CrossFit 908 enriches our lives on a daily basis, and Tim’s dedication is to thank for that. Happy 30th Birthday Tim, I hope you take a step back from everything today and truly see just how successful you have become and how many people’s lives you have changed for the better.
To celebrate Tim’s 30th, I hope you all can make it tomorrow night (Thursday, March 14) at 8PM for drinks at Delicious Heights in Berkeley Heights.

Happy birthday bud! Enjoy your big day!
Nice bulge
Happy Birthday, Tim! Welcome to the 30s!
Happy birthday, even than you were stuffing socks in you bathing suit some things don’t change.
I guess we’ve known Tim for that long, too, since he started coming over to visit Erin during those early high school years. Jerry and I are so glad that he is part of our family… he is such a sincere, dedicated, caring, and hardworking (and fun!) young man… perfect for our wonderful daughter. We’ve watched Crossfit 908 become a true success, and it wouldn’t have done so without Tim’s (and Erin’s) personal touch and commitment…. they make it a warm, caring, and welcoming community. Happy 30th Birthday, dear Tim!!! We love you!!!
Happy Birthday Tim! You have built something wonderful, and it continues to grow and flourish. You’ve done more by 30 than many ever achieve… KUDOS!
Happy birthday Tim!! Thank you for bringing us all together and giving us all a second home.
Happy Birthday Timmony. You are one awesome coach and Dave and I hope we know you guys for a very long time.
Happy Birthday Tim! Thanks for making a second home for Jimmy and keeping him too tired to get in too much trouble! Have a great day
Happy Birthday, Tim! And what an awesome woman you have in Erin! You are great together!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TIM! Your hair was THAT impressive even as a youngster? WOW. — I came to CF908 tonight to train after a rare week off from working out. Just want you to know as I was warming up I looked around and said to myself… “This place is f’ng awesome.” I’ve said it to you before.. best part of my day BRO. You’ve done a great thing there.
also, the first comment by “Ant” made me laugh … TWICE. Way to start off the thread
I’m guessing future Tim went back in time and told little Timmy he needs to start benching and curling. Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Tim! Thank you for doing what you do every day.
Happy Birthday Tim! Hope it’s a good one! Debbie and I are so happy to have become part of CrossFit908, thanks for all your hard work!
Where’s the MATH?!
Happy B Day
Tim! Happy Birthday! You know I think you rock.
Happy Birthday Tim! Always inspiring in the gym and with your choice in swimwear 🙂 xoxo!
Tim,
Since we met a little over 3 years ago, you’ve embraced me not only as a member of CF 908 but more importantly, as your friend. I remember one night at Rui’s place in westfield a remark was passed that I never forgot. We were all saying our goodbyes for the night and you said “I’m glad we became friends.” You’ve pushed me to achieve more than I ever thought I could at crossfit and you continue to be an inspiration. Happy Birthday, man!
Sister, sister…what a beautiful post!! I sure am so very happy that my brother found such an amazing partner to spend his life with!!
To my baby “brudder”…Happy 30th!! I am so very proud of all that you have already accomplished in this life. I admire your hard work, dedication and commitment you put into everything you set your mind to. I know you are my “little” brother, but I look up to you. I see what an amazing role model you are to those around you. Crossfit 908 has become such an amazing community, and it all started with you and that superwoman of a wife of yours :)!! I thank God for placing you here on this earth as my brother…and I am so very thankful for having you in my life as one of my best friends. I love you with my whole heart, and I wish you an amazing year at 30!! XOXO, Dots 🙂
Wishing you a very happy birthday, Tim! Thank you for being an amazing friend, coach, motivator, role model.. And of course, thank you for following your dreams and bringing such wonderful people together as one family! Excited for all of us to celebrate manana!
Happy 30th Tim. Now that’s only a number, right – and you don’t feel a day older than the picture!!! Also want to congratulate you on making CF 908 such a wonderful community – not only the great trainers but also all the members who are very supportive of each other. To paraphrase Winston Churchill…..“ it’s a place where we offer our blood, toil, tears and sweat”……and do it willingly! Happy birthday again and have a great year.
Happy 30 years young Tim!!! Hope you have a GREAT day!! Thank you Tim and Erin for taking a risk on this Crossfit journey. Thank you for caring and loving what you do, it shows! See you tomorrow!!! :o) Cheers!
