Being Who You Really Are.

May 3rd, 2008

Whenever I write my name out, it’s always Timothy Uhl (pronounced Yule for those who don’t know). I always use the full name when I reference myself. Business cards, e-mail signatures, all of that stuff. I do this for two reasons. First, the shorter name, blurs together with the last name into an unpleasant sounding “timule” or, people just hear it as Jim. I’ve spent more evenings than I’d like to mention being called Jim because I was too big of a wuss to just say, “Oh, actually my name is Tim.” Secondly, I always thought it sounded more formal and professional to introduce myself using my full name.

For those of you that know me personally, I’m just not formal. I’m very casual, laid back and I love a good laugh. You all know me as Tim and call me that, probably because Timothy just doesn’t fit who I really am. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

So, I’ve decided to change my business cards, e-mail sig, Facebook icon and all of it. Why? This is me, just being who I really am.

So, what can you do, to be who you really are? Whatever it is, don’t be afraid to let it show in front of our cameras. It makes for some of the very best pictures.
