Tim strongly believing in the importance of a solid education background, ran for and won a seat on the Red Wing School Board in 2004. After gaining

experience and displaying interest and knowledge in the educational

system, Tim was named Board Chair in 2006. He was re-elected to that

same position by his fellow board members in 2007 and 2008.

Tim also is a member and past board member of the Church of St. Joseph. His volunteering has also extended to the local YMCA as well as the United Way.

Recognized as a valuable leader, Tim was selected to participate in the Blandin Community Leadership Program. The Blandin Community Leadership Program is designed to develop and sustain healthy

community by building on community strengths, their economic, social, physical, cultural and spiritual needs, work together for the common good, and participate in creating their future. At the Blandin conference, program coordinators reinforce the skills necessary to create prosperous communities and to be effective leaders in the community.

Since Tim believes strongly in the potential of today's youth, he is active

in several local recreational associations. Tim is currently co-chair of the

Red Wing Youth Football Association, and active in the Red Wing Youth

Baseball and Basketball Associations. Tim's participation in these groups

ensures Red Wing's children have a sound environment to learn about

values and commitment.
