DELTA, CO, June 01, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Tim J. Glass has been inducted into Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Mr. Glass has owned and operated TJ Cycles & Offroad LLC, a custom motorcycle shop in Delta, Colorado, since 2016. Specializing in custom-building and repairing all makes and models of motorcycles, including Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Honda, as well as four-wheelers and side-by-sides, Mr. Glass is also among several experienced Harley-Davidson specialists. His shop also offers maintenance services and sells a large selection of parts and accessories.
Advocating the importance of supporting service members, part of TJ Cycle's mission is to give back. Among Mr. Glass's most notable contributions was a $29,000 custom four-wheeler POW/MIA tribute bike he built in 2018 for a veteran who lost his legs after serving as a marine bomb technician in Afghanistan. Through his business, he also participates in an annual motorcycle unity toy run for children of incarcerated individuals, an initiative founded by his friend Larry "Bulldawg" Herbig. Moreover, Mr. Glass's motorcycle shop has been influential in donating approximately 5,000 meals to Helping Hands, Open Hearts, an organization that hosts food and clothing drives for children during the holidays, and the Angel Tree Program.
Playing a significant role in his community, Mr. Glass spent several years running the Colorado Heroes Project, a nonprofit organization that he launched with his wife. The organization made custom motorcycles and trikes for disabled veterans and first responders wounded in the line of duty. The Project was inspired after gifting the bike Mr. Glass had built in 2018.
Mr. Glass spent more than 15 previous years in law enforcement, having served as a patrolman with the Sherman County Sheriff's Office, the Gunnison County Sheriff's Office, and the Rangely Police Department. He was subsequently promoted to sergeant in Rio Blanco County before retiring from the Delta, Colorado, Police Department as a disabled police officer in 2012. Mr. Glass was also a diesel mechanic for over a decade before transitioning into public service after suffering a work-related injury that prevented him from working with heavy equipment.
