Tim is a born and raised Iowa native. He began his creative journey at age 4 composing piano music; his interest in game development began while he was in college. His first published game was spawned from an abandoned D&D homebrew campaign which eventually became the naval strategy game Old Salt.
After successfully Kickstarting a campaign to manufacture and fulfill Old Salt, Tim developed a program called Little Creators Club which teaches elementary kids how to design their own games. Little Creators partners with elementary schools with the goal of helping kids take a step away from consumerism toward being lifelong creators, makers, and designers. We’ve also offered Little Creators at a few breweries in the Des Moines Metro for families and friends to design board games as a fun, creative activity.
What’s new and on the horizon? Aside from Little Creators Club programming and Old Salt, Tim is working on a variety of projects, but the two he is most excited about are a workout gamification program designed for gamers and a kids book building program for NICU parents. Practicing what he preaches, he is in pursuit of lifelong creativity!
