A native of Louisville, Tim Heine received his M.D. from the University of Louisville School of Medicine and completed his residency in anesthesiology at the Duke University Medical Center. After spending several additional years on the medical faculty at Duke, Tim and his family returned home. An anesthesiologist in a bustling, tertiary-referral community hospital setting for many years, Tim recently began the transition away from full-time private practice.

Previous experience has included service on the Board of Directors of The Clifton Center, the Peterson-Dumesnil House Foundation and multiple professional clinical and management entities. While Tim is excited to invest his energies on the entire breadth of issues advocated by the ACLU-KY, he is especially so in regard to the areas of the separation of church and state, women’s reproductive health rights, and LGBTQ equality. Beyond his work, Tim has had a life-long fascination with the human species, especially the processes of natural selection and broad, ancient human migrational patterns. In this light, he returned to the classroom several years ago and will complete his M.A. – Anthropology at the University of Louisville in late 2019.  Tim’s thesis focus is on the foundational elements of human wall-building behavior. Tim and his wife, Caroline, are enthusiastic travelers – some of their favorite destinations are New York City, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, our exceptional National Parks system, Amsterdam, Paris, Florence and Cape Town. They plan to keep exploring the world.
