Because Tim grew up in the Welch area and now raises his family in the Red Wing area, he has a great passion for enriching the District 28A community. While Tim is active in a number of activities, he takes special pride in his association with the following:
Red Wing School Board: Since Tim believes in the importance of a solid education background, he 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 also elected to that same position by his fellow board members in 2007 and 2008.
Tim is active in the Red Wing chapter of the Kiwanis Club. The club is an organization of volunteers committed to improving society through community service and mentoring children.
Tim is a member and past board member of the Church of St. Joseph. His volunteering also extends 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. 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.
