Timothy Frank Morehouse[1][2] (born July 29, 1978) is an American fencer who won a Silver Medal competing in the men's sabre as a member of the United States fencing team at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

[5] He was the fencing team's captain and most valuable player during his junior and senior years at the school.

[1][7][8] Morehouse won a Silver Medal competing in the men's sabre as a member of the United States fencing team, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

He trained with Yury Gelman at the Manhattan Fencing Center, and at Bodhizone Human Performance and Sports Physical Therapy in New York City.

In individual men's saber, he lost in the quarterfinals to Diego Occhiuzzi of Italy, who went on to win silver.

As a motivational speaker, Morehouse spoke to over 15,000 children and young people in urban schools about his Olympic story.

In 2009, he showed President Obama how to fence on the White House lawn in support of Chicago bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

In 2008, he was one of the featured athletes on the Emmy Award-winning television documentary, "My First Time: The Summer Games", directed and produced by Jesse Zook Mann.

He has had a few celebrities stop by, such as Project Runway's Tim Gunn, as well as NFL Star Steve Weatherford filming at the location for an episode of Spike TV's Playbook 360.

[19] He has made a prototype for foil as well, in hopes of having the sport to be wire-free, without wire jackets, as well as having as much of the technology of the weapons.

In the video, he shows that the weapons sync up wirelessly, and the jackets they are wearing have a magnetic layer underneath.

[21] He is the author of an autobiography, American Fencer: Modern Lessons from an Ancient Sport (2012),[22] in which he recounts experiences as an Olympic athlete and teacher.

In November 2014, Morehouse received the Athletes in Excellence Award from The Foundation for Global Sports Development, in recognition of his community service efforts and work with youth.
