"Tim Oman may have been listed last, but he is certainly not least. As Director and Founder of the Darlene Johnson Foundation and former Director at the Royal Shakespeare Company in New York, Tim’s influence reaches far beyond titles. He is a man who believes in your dreams even more than you do, a teacher who has guided countless disadvantaged individuals, and a leader who gives selflessly of his time, knowledge, and skills to help others build a better future.

​

His commitment extends far beyond teaching and leadership. Tim’s life reflects moments of true heroism—such as when he once saved a man’s life after a van collapsed during a tire change. In a moment of crisis, Tim’s calm courage and quick action pulled the man from danger, leaving an indelible mark on those who witnessed his bravery.

​

But beyond acts of courage, Tim is a builder—of people, of community, and of this foundation itself. With quiet humility, he has sacrificed and invested in the growth of the Darlene Johnson Foundation without complaint, always putting the mission above himself.

​

To those who know him, Tim Oman is more than a director. He is a legend, a lifeline, and a cornerstone of this organization’s heart."
