After running his own small business for over 25 years, Tim is now in public education full time as the Technology Coordinator in two districts. Tim and Linda have been active in their parishes, St. Bartholomew and St. Paul, in Norwich, N.Y. for over 20 years, completing Basic Catechetical Certification, co-teaching the second year Confirmation class at St. Bartholomew, and actively participating in parish life.  Tim serves as a Lector, Eucharistic Minister, and instructor in the RCIA program. He is also involved with ecumenical service through the weekly Soup Kitchen at the Broad Street Methodist Church in Norwich. 

Tim has brought his interest in technology to ministry as well education, publishing a blog, Gospel Hill Posts, with a world-wide readership and a section devoted to the candidates and aspirants of our diocese. He recently launched Deacons USA.  He hopes in the months ahead to develop the new website as a collaborative space for the entire deacon community in the Diocese of Syracuse.
