My Background

Picture of Tim and Erin

I am currently living in Minneapolis, MN with my always supportive life partner of 21 years, Erin. Professionally, I spend all of my time working on creating a new design platform called Brook. I have also owned and managed a t-shirt printing business where I got my start on creating web based design software. Before that, I was the general manager of a national big box retail store. Academically, I received a bachelor of science degree in computer science in 2009, but I am a big believer that constantly learning and hard work is more important. When I'm not working, I like to unwind up north in Minnesota at our family cabin on Lake Mille Lacs. I would also like to get more involved in the Laravel community by starting a Meetup group here in Minneapolis.

What I'm Working On

I am currently working full time on a design platform that I am creating called Brook. The purpose of Brook is to provide developers and designers a visual method of collaborating on Tailwind components and responsive imagery. The project provides direct integration with Laravel projects via a custom @brook blade directive and an artisan command to sync content. The thing that I really enjoy about using Brook is that it provides layers of visualization of Tailwind from a totally GUI based interface to a flipside code editor with emmet installed and a custom autocomplete for Tailwind styles. Nearly all of the platform is realtime, collaborative, and version controlled.
