TJ Sharitz is an author, inspirational speaker, and storyteller whose message centers on the cost of control and the freedom found through surrender.
In Control Freak: The Least Valuable Player, TJ shares a raw and deeply personal story of striving, pressure, pride, hidden struggle, and the healing grace of God. His work encourages people who feel exhausted from trying to hold everything together to stop striving to be the hero and let God take the lead.
TJ’s background includes decades in broadcast production, video storytelling, and creative leadership. After earning his Communications/Journalism degree from Virginia Tech, he built a career in television, production, and advertising, working in news, sports, and entrepreneurial business leadership. His lifelong passion for storytelling eventually became part of a much deeper calling: sharing hope, healing, and God’s faithfulness through personal testimony.
Today, TJ also serves students as a paraprofessional and mentor, encouraging young people facing dyslexia, social anxiety, and emotional or behavioral struggles. Whether he is speaking, writing, mentoring, serving in church production, or sharing his story on podcasts and at events, TJ is passionate about pointing people toward peace, freedom, and the transforming grace of God.
TJ has been married to his wife, Jaci, for 37 years. They have two grown children, Rachel and Daniel, and treasure time together as a family. When he is not working, TJ enjoys life on the lake, time outdoors, family dinners, and building a backyard oasis with his wife.
