In a career beginning in 1994, the same year another Tim invented the World Wide Web, Tim has worked at PR agencies such as Outcast, Spark, and Niehaus Ryan Wong. During that time, Tim has worked on hundreds of technology clients, ranging from start-ups to Fortune 500, from enterprise to consumer, and everything in between.
