He showed enormous generosity and authenticity toward the people who would become the subject of the documentary “Ready to Forgive.” He brings great care and professionalism to the work he does.”

Ava Martin (ELCA Communication Services)
“Tim’s work is excellent. He is talented, creative, innovative and intuitive. He can take a concept and develop it from start to finish. Tim has traveled across the globe producing video projects on the ground in Uganda, Rome, Germany and South America. His word is his bond, he will always deliver and let you know upfront if there are any questions or issues. I really enjoy working with Tim as a colleague and as an independent contractor. His work is wonderful.”
