Timothy Joseph Maude was born on 18 November 1947 inIndianapolis, IN. Initially, Maude had intended to become a priest and graduated from Latin school with the intention of attending seminary.

Maude enlisted in the U.S. Army on 21 March 1966. He received his commission as a Second Lieutenant upon completing Officer Candidate School in February 1967. After commissioning, he served one year in Vietnam and the rest of his career in the U.S., West Germany and Korea. His major assignments included:

Maude was stationed in Washington, DC, in August 1998 and was nominated as Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel, U.S. Army, by Secretary of Defense, William S. Cohen, in May 2000. After confirmation, Maude was promoted to Lieutenant General and began the Army of One campaign using television and internet advertising. He had testified before U .S.

In September 2001, he announced that the Army of One campaign was drawing more recruits and on 4 September 2001 it was reported that the Army had met its goals early for active duty soldiers and that the Army Reserve and National Guard would meet theirs by the end of the month.

Maude was a point man for the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy and matters concerning LGBT issues. When Private First Class Barry Winchell was murdered by Calvin Glover because it was rumored that Winchell was gay, Maude was one of the Army leaders who met with Winchell's mother, Patricia Kutteles.

C. Dixon Osburn, Executive Director of Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, said in a press release: "Lt. Gen. Maude has played a pivotal role in developing and implementing key programs related to LGBT military personnel. In addition to working on the services' most comprehensive 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' training programs, Maude has been an effective leader in working to protect our men and women in uniform from anti-gay harassment."

During his military service, Maude earned a Bachelor of Arts in Management from Golden Gate University and a Master of Arts Degree in Public Administration from Ball State University.
