Tim has always loved the mountains, so in 1998 he moved from Tampa to Whittier with his wife Kim. He's always been told that he's got a voice for radio so he decided to give it a try and was hired as a board operator in May of 2007 and now works as our afternoon DJ Mon-Fri. 3-6pm and Sat. 10am-2pm. In his pastime Tim enjoys target shooting, playing the Bass guitar, shooting pool, hiking with his three Huskies and spending quiet evenings with Kim.
