Tim has been passionate about spending his time on projects working towards the 17 Sustainable Development Goals since his first job in 2011.

Tim started his service journey in 2011 when he and four childhood friends started a non-profit organization “Brothers Against Poverty”, which sought to fundraise and serve both his hometown of Bellingham, WA and partner NGOs in Latin America. From 2011-2016, Brothers Against Poverty built affordable housing, and worked on education efforts throughout Central America. From 2016-2019, Tim helped lead Asha For Education at Stanford University. From 2019 to present, Tim has been working on USAID, UNDP, IDB, and World Bank projects with Synergy International Systems. He has 10 years of experience leading organizations, large-scale international projects, and conducting technical, econometric, and scientific research. He has published and co-authored several works in a variety of fields.

Tim is currently an Economist, Systems Engineer, and Consultant working on multilateral development projects across 15 countries over the past 6 years.  He received his BA and MA in Developmental Economics and International Development with honors from Stanford University and with technical focuses in Econometrics and Microeconomics.

Tim’s service work has been recognized globally and he received the Presidential Award for Distinguished Youth Service from President Barack Obama in 2015. In addition he has been recognized by Coca-Cola, Stanford University, The United Nations, National Honors Society, American Society of Civil Engineers, FreeMasons, Comcast, The Haas Center for Public Service, Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, and Gates Foundation for his work and service. He has current research and practitioner interests within developmental economics in the net-zero transition of low/middle income countries, impact investment, and developmental finance.

Tim is the author of several publications across disciplines including developmental economics, environmental economics, and astrophysics.  He has conducted and published research from projects in Liberia, India, Bahamas, Timor-Leste, and Indonesia. 

Inspired by his hero Leonardo Da Vinci, Tim is always seeking to explore new fields and interests, ultimately with the goal of connecting them back to his overarching mission of serving those in the most need, at home and around the world. In addition to his Developmental Economics work, he has a background working in Environmental Engineering, Astrophysics, Marine Biology, Entertainment, Archeology, Design, and International Education. He is a member of The Explorers Club, Oxford Net Zero, and The Society for International Development.

In addition to his multilateral development work, Tim has a strong background in education and strategic consulting.  He served as a lecturer at New York University in Washington DC, teaching his “Intentional Life Lab” course.  He has 4 years of experience working in student affairs at Stanford and NYU, which he has used to help advise high school students on elite college applications.  Students he has coached over a period of 1-3 years have been accepted and attended the top schools in the world (Stanford, Yale, Harvard, Oxford, Cornell, etc.).  He specifically helps students design and implement “signature projects”, the key to any elite college acceptance.  Tim has also served as a strategic consultant to start-ups in the robotics and entertainment spaces, and has completed projects as a consultant to non-profits in grant writing and project management.

Tim is available for private 1-1 consulting services, he is currently working with a few clients on elite college application preparation, and he provides business and management strategic consulting services to start-ups and non-profits.
