Tim is honored to be part of an organization that closely reflects his personal passions and values. His roots run deep in the Coulee Region, where he grew up in a family that valued agriculture, education, and the performing arts. Experiences in 4-H, the West Salem School Forest, and the La Crosse Community Theater played a formative role in shaping his youth.

Tim is a 7th grade teacher and serves as the 6th through 12th grade Science Coordinator for the La Crosse School District. He is also a graduate faculty member at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse. Through his work, Tim is committed to serving the needs of regional communities, with a continued emphasis on the values that guided his upbringing.

When asked why he enjoys serving on the WisCorps Board of Directors, three words stand out: “work”, “land”, and “passion”. Work because WisCorps emphasizes skill-building and a strong work ethic. Land because sustainable land-use practices are essential to our future. And Passion because all division staff, volunteers, and participants bring dedication and purpose to everything they do.
