Experience

In the fall of 2020, Tim began contributing to Looper as a feature writer, news writer, and interviewer. He is a veteran entertainment reporter who has written for dozens of network television affiliate websites and major entertainment outlets since 1999. Part of his experience was as the national entertainment news editor for 10 years for the Internet Broadcasting Network (which was eventually acquired by Nexstar Broadcasting), an online platform that, at its peak, provided written and video content to more than 70 network television affiliates across the United States including sites for ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, and The CW. He has interviewed many actors, including Meryl Streep, Morgan Freeman, Harrison Ford, Halle Berry, Robert De Niro, and filmmakers like Francis Ford Coppola, James Cameron, Christopher Nolan, Jodie Foster, and Ridley Scott, just to name a few.

Education

While Tim first earned two bachelor of science degrees in political science and law enforcement from Minnesota State University in Mankato, he shifted his career focus to journalism by returning to school at Brown College to earn a certificate in radio and television broadcasting. Tim's writing career began at a small market newspaper outside of Minneapolis, which led to his work in magazines and eventually, online journalism — where he applied his skills as a radio and television broadcaster as well.
