Tim is the CEO of BOSS and a firm believer that music is life itself. His  experience as a radio personality, Air Force officer, live music devotee and cancer survivor led to the creation of We Rock Cancer. His doctoral studies led him to create a symposium and graduate course on "Rock and Roll Entrepreneurship"  which serves as the foundation for bringing key music stakeholders together to do good.  At a young age, he lost his father to kidney cancer. He knows first-hand the difference that early detection and treatment can make.  As Founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors, his passion serves as the driving force for our team.  

As a Managing Director at Deloitte, Ned leads the life sciences supply chain planning and fulfillment practice, focusing on initiatives that are truly improving people’s lives. The impact of early detection drives his desire to make a difference. His father survived skin cancer - thanks to early detection - but he lost one of his closest friends to skin cancer at 35 years old, leaving behind a wife and a one-year old son. Ned is passionate about live music.  He has played guitar in several bands and his daughter is a talented singer-songwriter.  He believes the power of music can be harnessed to build awareness and catalyze early cancer detection, not only improving lives, but saving them.
