Tim Chan

Tim is a cheerful pessimist and always thinking. His life began in Yellowknife with stops in Calgary, Hong Kong, and Vancouver along the way. He proposed to Olive with a goat (and no diamond ring). There is a soft spot in his heart for mangos, mentoring, the Vancouver Canucks, and anyone who washes the dishes at his place. Tim especially enjoys being a husband to Olive and father to Alena.

He and his wife released their first book, "Fight With Me: How We Learned to be Married", in October 2012. Since then, the book has been downloaded by over 4000 people and has made it to the Top 100 Amazon Books List and was #1 on Amazon's Top Marriage Books List. So far it has an average rating of 4.6/5 starts on Amazon, out of 16 reviews.

Their second book was just released in March 2013, and is about the ups and downs of their first year of parenting. The book is titled, "Then Came the Baby: The Wonder, Mayhem, and Hilarity of Our First Year as Parents".

Tim works as a social media and marketing consultant and a writer. He and Olive blog together about thoughtful marriage, parenting, and life at www.timandolive.com.
