Tim joined the NWO team last year and since then we have unearthed a plethora of interesting snippets about the life of Tim. Now it’s time to share that with the outside world.
For example, although born in Brisbane, Tim grew up on the island of Borneo in Malaysia before moving back to Brisbane at age 16 and attending boarding school. Sorry, but all boarding school stories remain classified.
With that cultural background, Tim is fortunate enough to speak three languages—English, Bahasa Melayu and Hakka, a Chinese dialect. Actually, he speaks a few Chinese dialects so calling Tim trilingual might actually be selling him short.
When he was younger, he was quite the tennis player and travelled extensively around south-east Asia for tournaments. Luckily for Rafa and Roger, he decided to swap the racquet for a MacBook and pursued his career in advertising.
Regrets, he’s had a few. Like being a guinea pig in clinical trials in exchange for a few bucks. Or the free tattoo of a hotel safe code he got as a dare. Many expensive laser sessions later, it turns out it wasn’t a ‘free’ tattoo at all.
He has been on road trips around Iceland in winter, adds salt to Coke, is a mad Manchester United fan and a former cover band lead singer. He really rocks it on karaoke nights.
Despite all these interesting tidbits, Tim is most well-known for his sneaker collection, admitting to ownership of more than 100 pairs. But we suspect the number is way higher. Rarely a week goes by at NWO HQ without a couple of shoe-box-sized deliveries arriving for Mr Kho.
Tim is happily married (well, he’s happy at least) and can sniff a good lunch from five desks away. As his clients will attest, Tim is full of energy and curiosity and that makes him a great member of the NWO family.
