Bio

Tim is an architect with 30+ years' experience gained from a range of roles, where his impact in small, specialized firms and deeply hands-on activity led to larger roles with broad, strategic reach and business and financial accountability, with development of team culture and mentorship across multi-discipline AE, and global, multi-office architecture firms. As one of the original CAD gurus (back in the days of the "sneaker net" where one would copy a plot file onto a 5-1/4" floppy and walk it to the plotter to print it out - well before the days of the AutoCAD xref and Revit family), Tim earned broad experience in mixed-use, multi-family renovation on complex, phased, sustainable, urban repositioning projects and some more specialized industrial, retail, commercial and institutional projects, including historic schools, office interiors and secured government facilities of both renovation and new construction. His passion is to offer a voice for staff development, and to create a culture rich with the opportunity for inspired architecture. He hopes always to instill employment enjoyment with a natural balance that supports both personal and professional success. 

At Page, Tim is responsible for inspiring and empowering leadership and design talent to take action and find alignment between their personal passions and company goals. This includes strategic balance of our continued organic and acquisitional growth and evolving the region's organization and processes to best align and leverage the passions of our people with the opportunities present in our clients' projects.

Born in Chicago, I lived early years in Memphis, but grew up mostly in upstate NY and NJ. I found home after college in the DC metro area where I met my wife, Jen. Together we have a daughter, Molly, son, Sebastian, and dog, Milo. We're fans of putting our feet in the sand with cold brew in hand at OBX beaches, Big Apple trips for long weekend getaways, vegging out to “bad” TV, tilting a bottle of the brown with neighbors, and rooting for US soccer and DC-based sports teams (unless the Cubs are in town).
