Tim lives and works in the hills near Fort Collins Colorado. After receiving his M.A. in Environmental Policy from Colorado State, Tim refocused his academic and applied energies on the political economy of energy by writing about and advocating on behalf of renewable energy and clean tech.

When not reading, writing, thinking or talking about environmental politics, Tim spends his time skiing in Colorado's high country, playing disc golf, hiking with his dog, and working in his vegetable garden.
