Tim took a keen interest in woodworking as a youth visiting his brother in Alaska, and building hickory dog sleds for racing. Then Tim’s other brother took him on his maiden sailing voyage off the coast of Georgia in wooden sail boat. Tim was hooked. Soon after Tim enrolled at the NW School of Wooden Boatbuilding, completed the program and began working in boatyards from Alaska to Port Townsend.

As fate would have it, Tim got a call from master builder Ray Speck in 2000, asking him to come teach at the school. The rest is history and Tim is loving it! Tune in to this podcast to hear Tim talk about helping set up a wooden boatbuilding school in Ireland, building a 26ʹ forest service boat, what makes northwest boat building unique, and other cool topics.
