Tim Sweeney remembers riding bikes to Summer Stage with his brothers and sisters from the Aronomink section of Drexel Hill. At one time there were four Sweeney’s at Summer Stage: Kate, Joe, Mike, and Tim. Tim fondly remembers meeting folks who became his lifelong friends friends while creating magic on the stage. Tim just became a father at the age of 46. He works as an insurance agent and owns and operates Turkey Trivia, a company he created. I hope you enjoy our conversation, so come along and have some fun. . .
Tim works with a charity in Radnor that helps people with spinal cord injuries and organ transplants. Please visit helphopelive.org to find out more.
