My name is Tim Riley. I am a twenty-five year old advocate for Christ. This is my story.

Ever since I was a little boy I've envisioned my life as a story, imagining each detail with so much depth, my life at times felt as though it was being narrated. Like the Robin Hood in the book, I was creating my own adventure, the story of a journey being placed together piece by piece until the glorious victory in the end. Whether it was my imagination expressed in Legos, or in the details of wooden furniture, the thought of creating something unique has driven me year after year. Though my heart has no intention of gaining fame, it does however long to create something with a lasting effect.

In January of 2007, I was inspired to set out to make the most of my life. Taking the two things I loved most: the concept of photography and illustrative art, and pouring my all into them. I started from scratch, buying a camera and then learning how to use it. As well as taking my artwork to another level by starting my business, Released Clothing. Setting out in my roots of growing up in the church with a focus to not just be the next clothing company, but rather a company driven to be something much greater. Since then, the adventure has continued and I've been joined by my beautiful wife, Jewell. The Lord has brought me from the the basic of basics, to taking photographs for others, to running a company that's starting to make it's way around the world with a message of hope and love.

My desire is to live a simple life. A life of love full of compassion. I desire to become a better person and the best husband I can be. Doing my best to make an impact, however the Lord wills. God is my hope. It is by His mercy and grace that I am free.
