Tim brings A&G's clients the unique benefits of three distinct careers. Tim was an award-winning journalist with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He became press secretary to Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge in 1995 and served as his chief communications strategist until the administration ended in the wake of the 9-11 attack. During those years, Tim oversaw the press and marketing strategies that helped to make the Ridge Administration one of the most popular in modern PA history. Tim joined Neiman in 2001 and helped to craft and lead successful strategic marketing and issue- and crisis–management PR efforts with retail clients such as Sheetz, Sunoco, and Dietz & Watson, to name a few. Tim ultimately became CEO of Neiman, an experience that enhanced his ability to provide unique problem-solving counsel to the agency's client executives. With a&g's acquisition of Neiman in June 2013, Tim has now returned full-time to his PR and executive-consulting craft.
