At the age of seven, Tim Hannig learned how to make a thimble disappear. A few years later, Tim performed a show for his 4th grade class. He certainly had no idea that someday he would be entertaining and inspiring students for the rest of his life!
At the age of 17, Tim signed a deal that made him the youngest contracted performer in any show at Six Flags Great America. Over the next 3 summers, Tim entertained over 900 audiences with his one-man music, magic, and variety show at Six Flags Theme Parks in Illinois, Georgia, and New Jersey.
As a sophomore in college, Tim began performing in elementary schools, performing Daytime Assembly and Family Night shows. After getting a degree in Communications, Tim got a "real job" in sales with AT&T. Of course, Tim couldn't stay away from performing. One year later, he left the job he loved at AT&T to return to what he loves even more...performing for kids and families! (take a look at Tim's schedule or his "applause", and you'll see that he must be doing something right!)
In addition to his work in elementary schools, Tim has also performed at the Arie Crown Theater, repeatedly at private parties for the Chicago White Sox, and multiple times in our nation's capital at The White House.
Tim has a passion for encouraging kids to make good choices that reflect positive character qualities. Every week, Tim performs in front of hundreds (and sometimes thousands!) of people. He performed for over 80,000 people last year alone! Tim says, "Although I have a lot of fun with what I do, I take it very seriously. I try to give each and every show 110%. My goal is to connect with every student, teacher, and parent in my audience, and to leave them with the inspiring messages that make The Pro-Kids Show so effective."
Tim and his wife Sacha make their home in the Chicago suburbs, and have three "Pro Kids" of their own! |
