Tim has been a Mount Pleasant “townie” for more than 28 years and graduated from CMU’s broadcast and cinematic arts program.
He also received a graduate degree in media art and technology from Michigan State.
As CMU’s video guy, Tim documents events, people and stories, on and off campus, and packages them into exciting videos and podcasts.
He’s also our resident techie – very useful in an office where we sometimes use words like “thingy” and “doohickey” to describe
technology. Alas, Tim is patient with us.
“I enjoy taking advantage of new technology to help bring stories about CMU to life in audio and video,” Tim says. “As a CMU
alumnus, I am proud to do my part in promoting CMU to both internal and external audiences.”
When he’s not hard at work, Tim enjoys collecting records and spending time with his family. He also enjoys recording music and making documentaries in his spare time.
