About Me
& Testimonials
I’ve always been intrigued by the intersection of media, culture, creativity and technology, from writing a parody newspaper for my stuffed animals in middle school, to later going on to explore media studies and art history at Pomona College, unpacking the social context behind everything from Barbie to Renaissance painting, and interning for places like CitySearch and Spin. When I heard about strategic planning something clicked.
In my free time, I wear many hats, such as LMU M-School guest lecturer, Beach Expert, Cat Dad, Puppet Master, and HOA President (against my better judgement). I help my partner with his music career. I feed my thirst for discovery and culture--exploring new pockets of LA, traveling abroad, going to art shows and concerts, and taking photography classes.

"Working with Tim was wonderful. He is thoughtful, creative, and drives strategy from the initial presentation through to the creative execution. I loved partnering with him while I was the Marketing Director at Dole Packaged Foods - creativity and insights for a brand that is 100 years old that everyone knows is no small feat. Thank you Tim!"
Erin Fasano, Chief Marketing Officer at De La Calle Tepache & Chief Marketing Officer at HERE Studio

"There are very few planners who do so much homework and due diligence in understanding a client, a company, the consumers, the culture... you name a rock, and you’ll find he’s looked under it. He is whip smart, and time after time comes up with new and interesting ways to solve a client’s problem. He always becomes that go to person on an account, and truly cares about the brands and clients he’s working on. He’s always thinking how can we do better? How can we break the mold?"

"Every time I walked into a meeting, I always felt more confident if Tim was in the room with me. Whatever the piece of business was, he knew it better than almost anyone in the room. He simply gets it. He understands that every assignment, big or small, can be whatever we make it. He constantly brought forth business building and revenue generating ideas that went well beyond any client ask. "
Eric Davis, SVP Executive Account Director at RPA

"Tim has been instrumental in the success of the accounts that we partner on as well as my personal growth as a planner. From the moment he became my manager, Tim was engaged and actively sought out opportunities that I expressed interest in or that he thought would aid in my development - always letting me dive in to get my feet wet, but still being there to throw out a life raft to help refine and plus up the work."
Nathan Cooper, Senior Strategist at Kvell

"He consistently demonstrated strategic thinking, a robust commitment to excellence, and a unique ability to humanize and articulate complex data narratives to support strategic campaign proposals. Tim's approach was never about taking the easy route; it was about ensuring integrity and relevance in our recommendations."
