Bio: Tim began his athletic career as a ski racer; running track was simply a training tool for other sports. He began competing in triathlon in the summer of 2001, after that, he was hooked. During one of his first races watched by his father, after a characteristically poor swim, his father proudly exclaimed that the only person in his age group that he beat out of T1 was some poor soul flapping around on the ground, stuck in his wetsuit. After that, Tim began a career in the Marine Corps where he was fortunate to compete for the Marine Corps Triathlon, Marathon and Cross Country Teams. In 2006, competing in the Armed Forces National Triathlon Championships, Tim qualified for the U.S. World Armed Forces Triathlon Team and competed at the World Armed Forces Championships in Sweden. Also in 2006, Tim was fourth place overall military at the U.S. Armed Forces Marathon Championships. After posting a personal best marathon time of 2:28:59, Tim now focuses on 70.3 and Ironman distance triathlons.

He followed that with a 12th overall at Ironman Lake Placid where he was the 3rd overall non-professional and set the course record for the 35-39 age group.
