His assignments included projects across the country, from Washington, DC, New York, and Connecticut to Seattle, San Francisco, Southern California, and Guam. Prior to joining SKS, Tim worked as a consultant in high-tech corporate real estate offices, delivering workspaces and campus environments that embraced the most innovative concepts coming to the marketplace. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Brown University, and a Master of Science degree from North Carolina State University.
