After 9/11 at the age of 37, Tim Hayes joined the US Army Reserve JAG Corps. He volunteered for deployment during the US military surge into Iraq in 2007-2008. He was deployed as a Detainee Operations Attorney for the US Army at Camp Bucca, Iraq. His experiences in the US Military led him to be involved with The Warrior’s Journey where he serves as a board member. Bishop and Hayes are proud to partner with TWJ as they assist military personnel, veterans, and their families around the world with issues related to PTSD, combat injuries, and other challenges.

Brad serves as a board member for the College Heights Christian School. As a father of four and as a leader in education, he understands how difficult it is for families to afford college. To help, Brad Bishop established and manages the Bishop and Hayes Scholarship program. Bishop and Hayes are proud to have contributed over $100,000 to high schoolers in the four state area. The awards have gone to young people who have faced difficult challenges including losing a parent to military service for the United States.

After serving for ten years in the US Army Reserves, Tim Hayes has been a part-time volunteer with the international relief organization, the Free Burma Rangers. FBR was started by former Green Beret, David Eubank, to bring medical aid and relief supplies to refugees trapped in war zones. Since 2015, Tim has traveled to Burma, Iraq, and Syria 11 times to bring doctors, medicine, and to use his training as Emergency Medical Technician. More recently, Tim thru FBR contacts has smuggled former Afghan US Army interpreters and their families out of Afghanistan.
