Tim Gomes

Abandoned at birth, and presumed stillborn, Tim Gomes was rescued from an abusive foster home and later adopted. He served in the US Army in Vietnam where he was awarded the Bronze Star and Army Commendation Medals. While working full-time, he earned his BA and MA from California State University. Now retired, he now lives with his wife of over forty years in Morgan Hill, California. He has gone from farmworker to bank Assistant Vice President during his 45 year career.

Tim has written three books. Corporate Defamation is about a good man falsely accused of sexual harassment struggling to clear his reputation, and remains unpublished at this time. Lost Love Found, about a widowed Vietnam war veteran who becomes involved with a former girlfriend in life-threatening situations while his only son goes missing in the Iraq War, was published in 2009. STILLBORN: A Sixty Year Search for Life, a memoir about my growing curiosity regarding my birth-family, the prolonged searches for it, and the consequences of finding it, will be published this year.
