Description

Tim was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. He realized he wanted to live in Colorado when he was a 10-year-old boy watching Wild America on PBS. Tim studied mechanical and biomedical engineering and received both his BS and MS in from the University of Colorado at Boulder. During that time he was a National Science Foundation Fellow developing curriculum and teaching science and engineering to K-12 students. He always wanted to learn and teach others how stuff works using hands-on approaches. 

Tim’s first job after grad school was in forensic biomechanics - investigating how trauma to the human body occurred. After a few years he returned to healthcare. In his 15+ year career in healthcare as an engineer, administrator, and entrepreneur, Tim has focused on using digital technology to improve how people move. 

He began his study of Transactional Competence with Influential U over tens years ago and has applied it to create a healthcare innovation program and a digital health startup, as well as run a clinical department. 

He’s now faculty and a client manager at Influential U where he again gets to learn and teach others how stuff works, this time through business education. He practices what he preaches and applies the Influential U methodology to referrals and sales and any exchange with other human beings.

Tim also has certificates in Bioinnovation and Entrepreneurship, as well as Entrepreneurial Studies, from the CU Graduate Business School. He’s a graduate of the Bovine Metropolis Theater Imrov School where he’s performed in shows and brought the audience to the verge of laughter. He’s also a Distinguished Toastmaster. And, he developed and leads a program at Rose Medical Center called “Becoming Dads” to help men prepare for childbirth and being the father of a newborn.

Tim lives with his wife Kara and two daughters 6 and 3 years old, in Denver, Colorado. He loves spending time with his family, especially outdoors. His favorite outdoor activities are mountain biking and climbing trees.
