Tim Kring was a successful television writer for hire. Then, 9/11 happened. Suddenly, Tim found himself on the set looking around realizing his work didn't feel meaningful enough. Soon after, Tim came up with the idea for the show Heroes which ran for four seasons on NBC. In Heroes, interconnectivity is the vehicle for disparate people with extraordinary abilities to come together and save the world. Tim has been working towards doing just that every since with innovative projects like Conspiracy for Good and the app ChangeUp. ChangeUp allows users to round-up their purchases to the nearest dollar and donate the spare change to the charitable cause of their choice.
