On January 12, 2010 I submitted my paperwork to the office of the Polk County Supervisor of Elections for re-election to the District 7 seat on the School Board of Polk County, Florida.  I am currently serving my first four-year term on the School Board of Polk County and second year as the Vice-Chairman of the board.

A native of Greenville, SC, I relocated to Polk County in 1972. I hold a BA in Secondary Education and History from Southeastern University (1975) and a Master’s Degree in teaching Social Studies from Rollins College (1978).  Previously I served as a teacher in Polk County Public Schools from 1975 until 1994, working afterwards as a contract administrator and teacher resource specialist for the school district. During the final six years of my 31 year career I designed and conducted annual follow-up surveys of Polk County public school graduates.

I have experience in dealing with growth issues as a result of many years of residential property management and service on local planning and zoning boards, as well as experience in both the academic and career (vocational) education arenas.

Currently I serve on the Board of Directors of the Polk Education Foundation, MIDFLORIDA Credit Union, AMIkids-Polk (Associated Marine Institute), and the Polk County Real Estate Investors Association.  I also am a member of the Kiwanis Club of Lakeland and the Lakeland Chamber of Commerce. I previously served on the board of Lakeland Regional Medical Center.  You can see more about my background on the about Tim page.
