decades for television news including the Iraq War (from Washington, DC), hurricanes and

other natural disasters in the Carolinas, Florida and Texas, commercial plane crashes, the John

du Pont and Catholic priest trials in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania coal mine miracle, 9-11,

Presidential Inaugurations, political conventions, and Hurricane Sandy.

While Tim’s primary role has been as TV News studio anchor, he also has extensive experiencein live on location news anchoring and breaking news live reporting for multi-media platforms

including TV, Radio, Website, Twitter and Facebook.

Philadelphia Eagles playoffs leading up to the Super Bowl, Philadelphia Phillies World Series

chopper for the Jersey Shore season opening and Delaware River flooding events, major East

Coast snowstorms, annual Longwood Gardens Christmas show, New Year’s Eve fireworks shows

in Philadelphia, and several documentaries for TV station sponsors.

During his tenure at WCAU, Philadelphia, Tim anchored nearly every newscast including noon,

Tim would work through the day on special station documentary programs and then return to

anchor the evening and late-night newscasts.

a clean, clear and rapidly crisp style with precise diction, cadence, and authority while still

projecting a warm and friendly personality so important to a successful television newscast.
