Timothy Porter

Founder & CEO

Timothy Porter’s community impact began in 2011, after a tragic bullying incident prompted him to develop Stop Bullies, a mobile app empowering students and educators to report bullying in real time. This effort, supported by UTSA’s Small Business Development Center and Procurement Technical Assistance Center, laid the groundwork for Appddiction Studio’s deep K‑12 educational engagement. In 2020, Porter was named U.S. Small Business Person of the Year by SBA and Governor Abbott—a recognition of both Appddiction’s growth and community service, including his board role at the San Antonio Health Collaborative. Most recently, he expanded his community investment by founding the ADS Sports Complex in Converse, TX. Launched with a March 2025 groundbreaking, the seven‑acre complex features basketball, volleyball, pickleball, lacrosse, and a café to engage families, athletes, and local organizations—reinforcing Porter’s vision of blending sports, business, and community spirit.
