 Prior to coming to Battelle, Tim served as the President of the Intelligence and National Security Alliance (INSA), a non-profit public policy and advocacy forum for intelligence and national security. Tim joined INSA after a position at General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems as the Vice President for Strategic Intelligence Strategies and Programs.

His military background includes service in intelligence units within the U.S. Air Force. Beyond his employment with Battelle and General Dynamics, he has additional business experience, having worked on information processing and telecommunications technologies at GTE Government Systems and as the co-founder and first President of the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies.
