Bio:
Timothy Glover, also known as "Dash Gordon," is a community advocate and founder of the Dash Gordon Foundation, dedicated to uplifting special needs, disabled, and at-risk individuals. In March 2022, Tim began delivering food for DoorDash to fund a vacation for his wife, Natalie, who was battling stage five kidney failure. Seeking to bring joy to his deliveries, he donned a superhero costume and adopted the moniker "Dash Gordon," transforming routine deliveries into moments of delight for his community.
This initiative quickly evolved into the Dash Gordon Foundation, which creates inclusive events and provides resources for individuals with disabilities and their families. Tim's efforts have garnered widespread recognition, establishing him as a local hero in League City, Texas.
