church’s sound system, Tim readily volunteered to lead the sound team effort. Within two weeks, he had researched, purchased, and learned the new hardware and software that now provides the church with a professional sound system. He has been effectively running the sound system for his church and his son’s school ever since. He embraces a work/life ethic based on positive-thinking, service to others, hard work, honesty and respect, and is able to motivate and mentor others through his personal example and direct one-on-one interactions, having often assisted others as a personal life-coach.

Being the true “geek-at-heart” that he is, Tim met his wife, Lynn, online via AOL beta, back in 1993 - when only geeks were on the newly immerging Internet! After a year of long-distance dating, he moved from Idaho to Virginia where they now live with their 5-year old son. The family enjoys outdoor adventures such as camping, hiking and biking. On Saturdays during the spring and summer, you may find Tim being the “pit crew” for his wife’s auto-cross racing car, Roxy – a Mazda RX-8 that won 6 trophies its first year of car shows. On Sundays, you will find Tim donating his time and talents in pursuit of his other hobby, “sound technician”, at his local church. When asked how to best describe Tim, his wife answered “When I posted my online ad all those years ago, I titled it “Looking for Mr. 90%”, assuming that no one would ever live up to 100% of my expectations. And, believe me, I’m not saying that Tim does! However, I will definitely say that he gives 110% to everything he undertakes, whether it’s at work or at home.”
