Background

Tim grew up in the Pacific Northwest, attending high school and university in Seattle, where he earned his undergraduate degree in economics and was a member of the University of Washington Crew Team. Tim’s connection to Alaska was formed during this period in the mid-80’s while working summers in Alaska commercial fishing.

After graduating from the University of Washington, Tim studied law in San Diego, graduating from the University of San Diego School of Law and passing the California Bar in 1989. Before moving permanently to Alaska, he practiced as a civil litigation attorney in Southern California for 16 years, becoming a partner in a prominent San Diego defense firm and passing the Nevada bar exam. He represented the interests of the insurance industry in complex litigation, insurance coverage disputes, and in the defense of general liability claims throughout Southern California and Nevada. Tim has resolved hundreds of complex disputes where multiple millions of dollars were at stake.

Tim has remained involved in the Alaska commercial fishing industry since his college days, returning to Bristol Bay as a salmon fisherman during the 4-5 week summer fishing season in June and July.
