    Zimmer is an American Real Life Superhero currently living in Knoxville, Tennessee. He was a co-founder for the New York Initiative, as well as the founder of Zimtelligence. He is known for deliberately not cultivating a secret identity, unlike the norm for many RLSH, due to his feelings over the similarity of maintaining a RLSH persona with being "in the closet" as a gay man.

    Zimmer has also spearheaded the Oracle Project and is likely one reason for popularization of the term "Oracle", as he was one of the first RLSH to emphasize the gathering of intelligence and data to combine it with the use of technology.

    History

    Zimmer co-founded the New York Initiative (NYI), the founding branch of what would later become the The Initiative Collective, a coalition of various Initiatives based around a location. While he was a member of the NYI, Zimmer served as the Technology Officer, Researcher and Field Medic until his departure on March 4, 2012 to establish his own company, Zimtelligence.

    From the Facebook post addressing his departure:

    "I'm no longer a member of the NYI or any Initiative team. I officially left March 4, 2012. I have nothing to do with anything Zero or the team has done since then. It's not the team I fell in love with anymore. I wish them well with their current and future projects, and hope they can do some real good in their communities."

    Zimmer has, in fact, worked with Zero on occasion, including sharing a guest spot on an episode of Heroes 101 Radio.
