Chief Operating Officer
Tim joined Progressive Source Communications in early 2019 and currently serves as COO of the company. On projects and campaigns, such as the the CARB Air Pollution Fundamentals Series or the Portola Regional Woodstove Change Out campaign, he often acts as a project or account manager.

In 2017, he graduated with honors from Cal Poly Humboldt, earning a bachelor’s degree in sociocultural anthropology with a minor in psychology. As an undergraduate, he received institutional approval and grant funding to conduct ethnographic research on the 2016 presidential election, later presenting this research at multiple symposia.

Tim worked in social services for the county Department of Health and Human Services in Humboldt County, CA. He was also an assistant field manager for the local environmental political action committee, Sonoma County Conservation Action. He is passionate about social equity, labor, and environmental issues.
