Anger is a fuel for love | Timber Jim Serrill | TEDxPortland

The emotion of anger is natural and normal. We all experience it. But how can we channel it to be a fuel for good? Timber Jim Serrill is a living example of how we can spread the love. Director of Love and Celebration for the MLS Champion Portland Timbers, Jim ditched college to rappel over treetops for the Forest Service. He began chainsawing victory slabs from logs after goals at Timbers matches in 1978 and did so until 2008. Jim has a passion for first aid and has trained hundreds in first aid and CPR. The tragic death of his daughter in 2004 led him back to work on trimming trees on power lines. A cancer survivor, Jim is now retired and volunteers his time with organizations all over the region. He has a heart the size of a lion. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
