Tim formerly served as OCMA President, Past President,
Treasurer and Board Member, and was recognized by the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) for his career in public management at the

In addition to holding many other leadership roles on committees, boards and associations throughout his career, Tim has provided countless individuals and communities with unmatched leadership, selflessness and a pragmatic approach to problem solving.
In retirement, Tim will continue to serve as a volunteer with the Dublin Police Department and Union County EMA. He will also take advantage of his newfound spare time by enjoying time with his partner, Anne, children and grandchildren as well as his favorite hobbies: traveling, camping, boating, and water sports.
