Tim has been developing with Drupal for more than since 2005 and gets credit for setting up and managing the first Drupal installation in the U.S. Senate. He worked with Development Seed as a database and migration guru, pulling out data from clunky homegrown CMSs and porting it to Drupal.

Before joining Development Seed, Tim assembled and led the technology team for Chris Dodd's presidential campaign where his team broke new ground in implementing innovative campaign technologies. Tim first became interested in open source software while studying intellectual property rights at Boston University Law School. Soon after graduating and becoming a licensed attorney and in the lead up to the 2004 election, he co-founded a PAC to support Democratic candidates nationwide.
