Testimonials

" I met Tim while I was serving at the United States Air Force Academy in the capacity of Superintendent. Tim possesses tremendous leadership skills, and his abilities as a strategic thinker allow him to grasp the "big picture" in any situation. He views every challenge as an opportunity to identify the most plausible solutions and formulate the necessary changes to ensure the timely accomplishment of the goals of any given project. While serving at the USAF Academy, Tim was instrumental in implementing two programs, the Commandant's Challenge and the Office Development System, which contributed significantly to the successful administration of the institution. He is an outstanding team builder who earns the respect and admiration of everyone with whom he works

Tim has earned my complete confidence and trust. I heartily endorse him, without reservation, for any position in which he can apply his demonstrated skills and diverse experience. "
