Tim is a Brooklyn-born teacher and traveler turned writer. After studying the classics at St. John's College, he moved to rural China, and has spent most of his adult life abroad, most recently in his adopted island home of Taiwan, where he has lived and worked for more than 5 years. He is currently back in Brooklyn, where he is an MFA student in the Writer's Foundry at St. Joseph's. Tim is interested in themes of language, family, cultural collisions, competing realities, and memory (both its consolations and its traps). When not writing or studying, you can find him running in Prospect Park, hosting pub quizzes, or tramping the boroughs on a quest for the best spicy ramen in New York.
