WHAT ABOUT TIM
Tim's Bio since
TIM is heavily involved in the SFL International 2020 gathering in a new
location, Casper, Wyoming. This organization overly depends on Tim because
he is skillful with the computer and with the audible software. He is
persistent and innovative but this accumulates in him much stress and the
constant reminder that he is blind. I try not to focus on it because I
cannot grow eyeballs(not yet at this time), and concentrating on loss or the
past does not make me better or happier. This is about Tim as I have gotten
to know. Tim McCorcle is from Juneau, Alaska and as a child endured through
poor vision and remembered as that small statured kid with the Coke bottle
thick glasses. After years of decreasing vision he was diagnosed with the
genetic condition called: Retinitis Pigmentosa(RP). Tim was not yet 10 and
found a letter from his doctor on his Father's desk about the last eye exam.
Curiosity and wanting to know motivated him to look the term up in an
Encyclopedia. He found out that this genetic condition will worsen to
eventual total blindness. A good and competent athlete, Tim loved baseball
and basketball as well as downhill skiing. As the vision consistently
diminished, he could no longer see a fly ball now invisible next to the
clouds and barely recognizing a grounder contrasted by the green grass. As
the evening darkness set in, his vision worsened considerably and finding
his way home more difficult with each year. Harboring the RP hopeless
information, he trucked on having fun with friends and known as the guy
always tripping on the bumps on the sidewalk, couldn't stay out much after
sunset because he couldn't see well enough to make it home, and on a special dance night he was asked by a girl to meet up at the concession.

Excited
about female attention, the school dance was dark for the seemingly romantic
mood but this darkness slowed Tim's search taking him an hour to find the
Concession. When he finally arrived, she was not there and a teen
experience thrust into the memory of, what if I got here sooner? Tim, was
superior in academics and enrolled in the University of Colorado in Boulder
for his undergraduate degree. He then was accepted and graduated from the
University of Washington School of Business with an MBA. He went on to teach
at the business school while his vision kept diminishing to the point where
he could no longer see or grade tests. Suspiciously, his teaching contract
was not renewed even though his classes were full. Hired in the business
sector as Accountant/Consultant he thrived as a guide for growing businesses
until the lights went out. Tim, could still drive a car and what he felt
was his last token of freedom but with anxiety of the progressing darkness.
That anticipated dreaded time did come unexpectedly as he was driving in the
i-90 tunnel and his eyes could not adjust to the dark. Tim, had finally
gone blind. He somehow managed his way out and found a place to park.
Realization of the finality of life with vision gone, a forever dark
chapter now his actuality, and a decision to move back to Juneau or ramp up
his courage to live independently on his own. Somehow finding his way to the
apartment he lived in for the past 20 years, the near sightless McCorcle
was overcome with the unknown progress question of : What's next. He
contacted the DSB, Department of Services for the Blind in Seattle and made
arrangements to enroll in their Orientation and Training Center(OTC). This
we blind folk call, Blind school. It is now October 2008 and in a government
building Tim met with other blind students housed in a nearby apartment
complex paid for by the DSB. He chose to commute from his apartment located
near the University of Washington campus. Almost totally without vision
and with no mobility training, he forced himself to find the nearest bus
stop and find the OTC building and guessing where the front door was
placed. He could see light, not much else, and memorized locations and
landmarks from descriptions provided by the DOT. Without the largest
sense organ operating as it was intended, the noise of traffic ramped up
the frustration of being lost and in danger of remaining lost, and worse,
feeling insignificant and without worth. Almost sightless but still the
high academic achiever, Tim breezed through Braille, computer use with an
audible screen reading software called JAWS, mastered mobility with the
cane and bus travel, finding addresses, crossing streets, and not
panicking when the intended destination was not there. He also exercised his
creativity by constructing a rolling cutting board table with precisely cut
wood from noisy and dangerous spinning saw blades for his culinary
adventures. Persistence and perseverance his hallmark, he became a Board
member of Washington Council for the Blind(WCB) and a Board member and Vice
President of Ski For Light(SFL), a 45 year nonprofit providing cross country
ski opportunities for the blind and physically impaired. Each year the SFL
organizes a week long International gathering for cross country skiing
somewhere in the US attended by many worldwide. Tim, and his exceptional
computer capabilities was given the task of getting the 250 participants and
more assigned to rooms, coordinating the bus transportation, travel
within the accommodation setting, and ensuring that each participant has a
skilled sighted guide for the weeklong skiing. The 2020 International
gathering will be in Casper, Wyoming and a new resort. Many travel from
Norway and other European countries yearly for this celebration and in being
with friends made over the past decades. Enormous amounts of planning and
organizing go into these yearly week long ski celebrations, plane arrivals
and departures and bus travel, lodging and meals, renting ski equipment, the
popular silent auction, the well-attended educational seminars,
entertainment with some showing off their singing and dance prowess, and
connecting the ski guide to the skier. Every year there are about a half
dozen partially paralyzed who strap themselves onto a single ski called Sit
Skiing using their arms and short poles to propel themselves. Though Tim
prefers downhill skiing when sighted, he has thrown himself into a
competitive conditioning routine and in championship cross country
performances usually finishing well ahead of the distant pack. Tim was
chosen to represent SFL a few years ago in Norway in a special competition
and has recently completed a daunting 55K race in early 2019. Tim
McCorcle through the finality of genetic phenotypic expression knew as a
child that he would eventually end up blind but not knowing the exact when.
Finishing in the top 10% of his MBA class and becoming an instructor in
the prestigious University of Washington School of Business, becoming a
Championship cross country skier, and Vice President of the 45 year old Ski
For Light organization, Tim has epitomized his dedication to the Chief Dan
phrase: Endeavor to persevere. He has done so with honor and the WCB and SFL
better off because of him. Asked, what's next? The straight to the point
response: Go faster, live up to my best self, and endeavor to persevere.

TUESDAY Show SUBJECT:
Tim McCorcle, VP, MBA,
Ski For Light, blind leading the blind.
A Look at Our World through the Heart of Dr. Randall
What About the Doctor
The Doctor was Blinded after two tragedies,
Nozawa’s will to live a full life continues undeterred
The Doctor is living proof that a person can do everything right only to suffer horrific events that
stymied decades of
hard work and left him blind. The two most gruesome tragedies he suffered would
make the fire-breathing Godzilla buckle in bitterness. Not Nozawa.
He’s grateful just to be alive.
Japanese, Nozawa had played high school football in Honolulu and later became a professional body builder. When he moved to Washington, the muscle-bound Nozawa enrolled at the University of Washington’s dental school, studied hard and faithfully graduated. Yet years later, after opening a handful of dental clinics, when he could finally afford the lifestyle he had always wanted, a tree came crashing down and foiled all his best-laid plans.
It was the first of two tragic events that would change his life forever.
During
his resultant and prolonged stay in the hospital, and as he took a year to
learn to walk again, his wife Debra Nozawa
hired temporary dentists to keep the clinics open. Yet when the businesses
performed poorly under the temporary staff’s care, family finances plummeted
and with all of his medical bills accumulating, Nozawa
felt he needed to return to work.
That’s
when Nozawa realized he could not perform his
dental duties to the high standard that he was accustomed. Even with assistive
devices for the seeing impaired, he felt his dentistry skills were now
sub-standard and that’s why he closed his clinics.
But
you'd probably think to yourself " Man that guy has been through it all
"
But
Nope here's the Number 2 Opportunity
Caught
in the middle of the couple’s domestic violence incident one fateful night,
John William Branden first shot his wife, Turid Lee Bentley, dead then shot Nozawa in the head from 12 inches away before
finally shooting himself. The crime shocked the community of Gig Harbor where
it occurred, and received its due amount of attention in area newspapers.
Looking back on it, Nozawa said that getting
shot feels like thumping your forehead with the heel of your hand – it does not
hurt. He did not yet know that the bullet had shattered and bore a hole through
his palate, destroying molars, nearly severing his tongue, and destroying his
only eye. All he knew was that he could not see and he was bleeding.
Missing
both eyes, Nozawa has had to get used
to moving about indoors and out. Shortly after the shooting and recovery, he
realized that he desperately needed help learning to navigate so he signed up
for Washington State’s Department of Services for the Blind.
At
blind school, Nozawa stayed in an
apartment offered through the Orientation and Training Center, in South
Seattle. There he learned how to maneuver with a cane, how to find addresses,
cross the street safely and navigate a kitchen, among other things.
These
days Nozawa has global plans for his business,
Transformational Kaizen Institute for Personal Freedom.
( https://www.alignable.com/tacoma-wa/transformational-of-kaizen-institute-for-personal-freedom ) Indeed, he works by
phone and offers advisement over the Internet to clients from all around the
world. He advises businesses in employee development and retention, in meeting
long-term goals and in growth.
“My
signature program is a nine-step success blueprint that I have named
Transforming Adversity Into Opportunity (TAIO),” Nozawa
said. “This is the success formula that I use with small and large
businesses alike, for those who want to become entrepreneurs and for those who
want to succeed in personal growth.”
Regarding
his home life, Nozawa is just grateful
that his family has stuck by him. “My wife Debra had to do a lot after I was in
the car wreck and again after getting shot,” he said. “We went from awfully
rich to rock-bottom penniless and almost homeless.”
Debra
Nozawa now owns The Ruston Chapel, for
weddings and social events. She is also the executive manager of Picasso
Catering in Tacoma.

“Dreams
do really come true, but you have to believe it before you can see it,” he
said. He has made his own dreams come true by helping others pursue their life
aspirations. In his free, 14-page book “Precipice of Potential,” which can be
downloaded from his website at www.drrandallgeorge.com, Nozawa
asks provocative questions to help readers examine their own lives more closely
like “What do you do that fills you with joy and excitement?” “When
is the last time that you gave, something, anything, freely without expecting
anything in return?” “What did you do with your last 20 dollars?” Certainly
food for thought.
