Board of Directors
Deep Water is pretty informal, but any organization needs people willing to look ahead, plan, give, and serve. Board members are just men who have been privileged to join and grow in this community and want to give back. Here's our current board.
Meet the Board
-
Tim Timmerman
After participating in various men’s weekends and groups around the USA, Tim cofounded Deep Water in 2009. An artist, a professor, and a follower of Jesus, Tim enjoys hosting high-energy dinner parties, sharing his story, and taking walks with his Scottie dog Lila. You haven’t really seen someone facilitate guts work until you watch Tim.
Tim’s current term serving as Secretary of Deep Water’s board continues until June of 2025.

David Blakeslee
An original Deep Water man (2009), Dave has served on the board since 2015. He’s a passionate follower of Jesus, a visionary who helps us find hope and lightness, a man of compassion and skill, and a brother who shows up for others even when it’s costly to him.
Dave’s current term serving on Deep Water’s board continues until June of 2027.
