BIO: Timothy Speedle was born and raised in suburban Syracuse.New York.His
father owned a chain of family restaurants,a position that offered Speedle a
financially secure and well-fed childhood.His mother,a volunteer with Social
Services,devoted her life to helping less fortunate children in the community.
Growing up with all manner of neglected,abandoned and abused children instilled
a driving sense of compassion in him for people caught in circumstanc3es beyond
their control.
Soeedle has a younger brother,13 years younger than him,with whom he never
developed a close relationship,preferring to keep to himself.
During those hours spent alone,Speedle read voraciously.There wasn't a subject
that didn;t interest him,but the one section of the school library where he
read every book was the sciences. It was there he met his one and only best
friend.Together they led their high school's science team to the State
Championship four years in a row.
Months before graduating,his best friend was paralyzed from the neck down in a
snowmobile accident while on their high school senior trip.Their plans of going
to Europe and then college togerher dissolved in one night.Swearing he would do
everything he could for his friend,he went to Columbia and devoted himself to
studying the biology of paralysis (his thesis:"Molecular mechanisms of neuronal
differentiation,axon guidance,and cell recognition in vertabrate development").
He was top of his class two years later when his friend died from complications
druing surgery.As far as Speedle was concerned,nothing mattered any longer.He
dropped out of school.And disappeared.
His family didn't hear from him until he called from his best friend's uncle's
home in Miami almost a year later.He had wandered and landed there, and "no,
he still didn't know what do with his life"-not until he started following his
friend's uncle to work at the Miami-Dade Crime Lab.With the same focus he had
in school,he consumed everything he could about the work that was done at the
crime lab.It was here he met Megan Donner.She took him under her wing and he
quickly realized that this was the work he needed to do.
He returned to Columbia,finished his honors degree in a year,and took an
official internship at the Miami crime lab under Donner's tutelage.Six months
later,he was working as a full-time CSI.
