Timothy is a Culinary Institute of America Alumni with a love for people, food, and events. He spent time in Colorado as Banquet Captain, then found his way to Virginia to work as a Fresh Foods Manager in Grocery Retail, and transitioned to be a part of the FLIK team as of the summer of 2021.
When not at work, I find myself focused on my daughter and wife (who also works for FLIK) and our two cats. When I'm not dreaming of our next Royal Caribbean Cruise, I am training for my next triathlon, love cooking with friends, a movie theater fanatic, a bourbon aficionado, and I generally find myself spending a fair amount of time eating! There is truly nothing better in life than great food and good company, and I look forward to sharing that with everyone.
