About Tim Hightower
Tim Hightower graduated from Episcopal High School in 2004. He started on the football team as running back and served as captain his senior year.

He scored the winning touchdown in the 2008 NFC Championship Game, sending his team at the time, the Cardinals, to Super Bowl XLIII (43) where they faced the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Four years into a promising NFL career, Tim faced a serious knee injury that ended up sidelining him for three seasons as he fought ongoing infection post-surgery. What could have been seen as a career-ending situation instead fueled Tim to fight even harder to return to the sport he loved.Tim made it back into the NFL where he proved himself not only to be a valuable asset on the field, but also a true leader in the locker room. Today, Tim credits the loving support from his family, his faith, and commitment to living a holistic lifestyle to his continued success as a professional athlete, father, husband and businessman. Off the field, he has taken his story of overcoming adversity to schools, organizations and children’s sports teams.
