==Early life==
Boyd was born in [[New York City]] and lived there for seventeen years until he went away to college at [[Brown University]] in [[Providence, Rhode Island]]. From Brown University he transferred to the [[University of Chicago]], where he was an honors graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Public Affairs.

==Career==
On October 5, 1974 he joined the [[Theosophical Society in America]]. Together with Bill Lawrence, a TS member, and others he founded a Theosophical spiritual community in Chicago's inner city. The group formed the Royal Associates, a business that initially focused on reclaiming and renovating some of the deteriorating residential buildings in their area. Royal Associates would develop residential buildings for low and middle-income families. The organization’s work helped stabilize neighborhoods through the training and employment of local youth and the creation of affordable homes for area residents.

In 1988 he started as a national lecturer for the TSA. From 1996 to 2000 he worked in hospice services as a volunteer in a team that involved doctors, social workers, and nurses. In 2007 Boyd became president of the [[Theosophical Order of Service]] (TOS) USA. In 2014 he was elected president of the Theosophical Society Adyar and he assumed office as their eighth international president at the international Headquarters in Adyar on April 27, 2014.

==Personal life==
He currently divides his time between the TSA headquarters in [[Adyar, Chennai|Adyar]], India and the [[Olcott Estate]] in [[Wheaton, Illinois|Wheaton]], [[Illinois]], where he lives with his wife, Lily, and daughter, Angelique.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://theosophical.org/president-s-bio | title=Biography Tim Boyd | publisher=TSA | accessdate=1 January 2015}}</ref>
