Tim Link is president and CEO of Wagging Tales and is a practicing animal communicator. As part of his passion for helping animals, Link also has mastered Reiki – an ancient art of energy healing – that he uses on animals.

He has recently been featured in numerous publications, and television and radio shows, including: the Associated Press, “The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet,” “Good Day Atlanta,” Forsyth County News, Bronx Times, Species Link, “Live Your Legacy With Aurea McGarry,” “Cumming Home,” Luxury Las Vegas, Woman2Woman, Atlanta magazine, “Everyday with Marcus & Lisa”, Detroit Free Press, “Fox & Friends,” “Good Morning Texas,” “Colorado & Company,” “Good Day Colorado,” Shirley MacLaine’s “Independent Expression” Internet radio show and remains a regular guest on two Internet radio shows. Since May 2008, Tim has been a featured ajcpets.com expert for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Link grew up in Richmond, IN. He married his high school sweetheart, Kim, and graduated from Ball State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in sales and marketing. After graduation, he built a successful 20-plus- year career in sales management for the telecommunications industry, earning numerous awards and promotions for his achievements. He was living his dream as an all-American guy.

In February 2004, Link learned (with great surprise) that he could communicate telepathically with animals. Until then, he had no idea he had this ability. Initially, he never intended to let many people know about his newfound gift. He practiced with his own pets and those of his family and close friends as well as those boarded at the local rescue shelter. As he continued to practice on more and more animals, he noticed his gift was getting stronger. One day while volunteering at the shelter, a friend “outed” him and recommended that he help another friend who was having a situation with a pet.

Since his gift continued to expand and could not be ignored, he decided to embrace this new way of helping animals. Link officially formed Wagging Tales in November 2007 to communicate with animals and their owners and to perform Reiki energy healing on pets. He also volunteered as the past president of the Humane Society of Forsyth County – a no-kill shelter. He enjoys spending time at home with his wife and their many pets in Cumming, GA.
