Did you know that Tim...

  • is graced with grandchildren; all of which whom have four legs?
  • has 2 metal hips and now practices tai chi instead of what he used to practice, taekwondo?
  • loves to travel, but is a nervous flyer?
  • 's first computer program was in Commodore Basic and was a text based fishing game?
  • 's first college program was in assembly and identified and re-iterated palindromes?
  • is writing a fictional book in collaboration with his daughter?
  • is still confused between a bull and a cow?
  • was a fastpitch coach for almost a decade and never played an inning of organized baseball?

 

Tim has been known to geek out now and then.  He enjoys people watching and exploring the fringe of such communities as comicom, aliencon, ancient aliens and many more sometimes misunderstood subjects.  He misses the Maker's Faire where he has learned about many new technologies and products.  The Macworld convention is also missed by Tim.  This is the place where Tim gained his appreciation for Apple products and development.  Apple may think it has become to big to hold this event, but if they did, Tim is sure that many more Apple "geeks" would be created.  After all, they are in the heart of the biggest geek capital in the world, Silicon Valley.

Tim likes to experience new adventures.  Among his favorite things to do are: Fishing, especially flyfishing, traveling, fishing while traveling, mountain biking, road cycling, tai chi, working out, golfing, or any combination of the aforementioned recreation.  Tim is usually up for trying anything new at least once.  Don't be afraid to expose Tim to new adventures.  He will generally respond with positive feedback.  He is new to Southern Oregon, so this is a good time to introduce him to a new area or sport

 While fishing, Tim has almost always practiced catch and release as a form of stream and lake conservation.  He believes in leaving the resources for generations to come.  That being said, he will keep a fish that is plentiful only if he or someone he knows are going to use the fish as an immediate food source.

 Whether hiking, mountain biking or off-roading, Tim will likely combine some of his favorite types of recreation, such as mountain biking and fishing.  If you are willing to share your favorite spot with Tim, he is very capable of keeping a secret.  Just know that he is likely to post the adventure on his site and/or blog as he likes to share his best adventures, unless you tell him not to.
