Full Bio

Tim Montgomery knows exactly what it takes to be the fastest man in the world. He also knows the price one pays when achieving such goals illegally. A former Olympian and world record holder in the 100-meter sprint, Montgomery was stripped of his 2002 records after being found guilty of using performance-enhancing drugs. Following this devastation, Montgomery retired from running. He again found himself on the wrong side of the law when he was tried and convicted for his part in a check fraud scheme and for dealing heroin.

Upon his release from a four-year and six-month prison term, Montgomery decided to turn his life experiences into lessons that would inspire and motivate others. As the founder of NUMA (Never Underestimate My Ability), Montgomery focuses on helping athletes build self-confidence and avoid social and professional pitfalls in the face of substance abuse and peer pressure.

Sharing his personal story, from his rise to worldwide fame in track and field to handcuffs and shackles in federal prison, Tim Montgomery offers a riveting message that speaks to a wide range of audiences. From children and adults and to inmates and professionals, his story appeals to all.
