Tim has spent his life in Maine's outdoors. Growing up shadowing his father who was a fire warden with the Maine Forest Service and his brother, a ranger in Baxter State Park, it was natural for him to seek a career in the outdoors. Tim is from Skowhegan, Maine and has a Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Maine at Machias. While in college, Tim began working as a ranger at Sebago Lake State Park for the State Parks and Recreation Commission. After Sebago, he continued his employment with the Department of Conservation as manager of Aroostook and Cobscook Bay State Parks. In 1999, Tim retired from the Department after a 32-year career and resides in Millinocket. He works in the Millinocket School System, and enjoys raising Golden Retrievers, and sharing stories about the Allagash.
