According to Retired Corporal Timothy Schell, Pennsylvania State Police, “I was born and raised in the small borough of Blandon, located in Berks County Pennsylvania. There wasn't much to do there except hang out and have fun with your friends. We played football, basketball, home run king and went swimming in the local dam. I have two older brothers who I look up to; Larry and Garry. I looked to them for guidance and advice. We were close while growing up, but they got me into trouble as big brothers often do. I went to Fleetwood Area High School where I lifted weights and ran track and field for four years. I met my wife Kristel in Fleetwood. I used to ride my bike four miles one way just to see her. I was an average normal kid with big dreams of being a police officer and helping others. I obtained my goal through hard work and dedication and support from my family. I have a nice house, a gorgeous wife and two beautiful daughters; Aubrey and Morgan. If you work hard, stay close to your family and to God, your goals will be fulfilled.
