Timothy is currently employed writing marketing copy for a small biotechnology company in Seattle, writing press releases, marketing materials, web copy and whatever else may come up.

Timothy's writings are available today in the form of Bright Orange Sweater Coat, his 2004 compilation of fiction and nonfiction, and at The Flag of the World weblog.

If writing is his sword, editing is Timothy's shovel, doing the real work of uprooting and rearranging words until a piece is a pleasure to read. Timothy's current employment involves editing all the text that goes out to the public and in addition, he recently finished a stint as Editor-in-Chief of the Bethel College Clarion, where he also served as the Editorial Page editor for three years. He also spent three years editing the papers of a great many college students at the school writing center.

Research is a priceless skill, and is even moreso when it is not a task but a joy--which it is, for Timothy. He graduated from Bethel College Magna Cum Laude with degrees in history and biology. He is a skilled researcher, recieving a 4.0 gpa for his research-heavy history degree. An example of his research can be seen in his senior thesis "Missing the Scoop: the American press coverage of the discovery of the double helical structure of DNA" and, in a more informal setting, his Flag of the World Country Studies.

In his various careers, hobbies and short-term interests, Timothy has picked up various other skills that can be utilized alone or in conjunction with the above, including newspaper and magazine layout, desktop publishing, graphic design and a little bit of web design, examples of which you can see right now.
