Tim was born outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and has lived most of his adult life in Washington, D.C. He earned a BA in English from Allegheny College before earning an MA from Columbia University’s Teachers College in Teaching of English. Stemming from an interest in our relationship with technology and a firm belief in an informed citizenry’s ability to hold the powerful to account, Tim’s recent teaching practice has used an array of texts as a jumping off point to explore historical revolutions, media literacy, and direct action through communication campaigns. Outside of school you’ll probably find him walking his dog, Arya, with his partner Abby and an iced coffee while they talk about the NBA, a podcast, or the shenanigans of their cat, Juno.
