Tim Moody, Class of 1988
Tim Moody is a 1985 graduate of Corsicana High School and a 1988 alumna of Navarro College. In addition to graduating with a General Studies degree, he played baseball for Navarro College before signing with the University of North Texas. Although the UNT baseball program eventually disbanded, Tim applied the experience, wisdom, and education he garnered from Navarro College and was able to transfer directly into the workforce. He has served 28 years with the Texas Department of Transportation as a Materials Testing Specialist, with much of his expertise applied to the construction of interstates 45 and 35.
Now, as a retiree of TxDOT, Tim works part-time as a consultant with an engineering firm and spends much of his time with his grandkids and serving as worship leader at his church. He considers Navarro College a true legacy within his hometown and family, stating, “both of my daughters attended Navarro College, as well my father and my wife, Syma Moody.” He encourages anyone who wants to make a difference or change the direction of their life to consider Navarro College: “Navarro College introduced me to a greater knowledge of what college was about… I grew to understand the importance of studying and taking notes and then translating that to testing.” He also credits baseball coaches Adrian Paul and Jess Cummins for their role in keeping the team disciplined in their studies and motivating them to grow as young men.
When asked if he had any advice to students or prospective students of Navarro College, he wanted to remind individuals that “hard work does pay off. Commit to whatever you do best and do it.”
