A Colorado Springs native, Tim's first in-depth exposure to journalism was his college yearbook and paper in the small town of Mt. Vernon, IA. Having studied computer science and molecular biology, he spent six years bouncing around the e-commerce, medical, and search engine industries before returning to the news business. He joined the Greenspun newsroom in 2008, and he writes content and code. Outside of work he is a fan of gadgets, electronics and exotic cars.
