A veteran of the Afghanistan War, Tim has been published in 0-Dark-Thirty, a literary journal for veterans that is published by the Veterans Writing Project. He has been taking workshops both at The Writer's Center and at Johns Hopkins University since the Fall of 2010, when he enrolled in an NEA-funded free workshop for veterans. He most recently attended a fiction workshop with Jim Mathews at The Writer’s Center. Tim is working on his first novel about his time serving in Afghanistan with the Special Forces, and hopes to complete it this year.
