Tim is co-founder/owner/service manager of Northwoods Cycle in Rice Lake, WI. He was born and raised near Kansas City, KS and moved to Rice Lake in the summer of 2023 (Tim is married to Allison, Northwoods Cycle’s principal owner, and has been coming to RL to visit for over 20 years). Tim loves to work with his hands…fixing things, building things, and problem solving when things need to be fixed up. He’s been working on bikes for years, and his attention to detail, mechanical intuition, and desire to go the extra mile will serve us well in the service department to make sure your bike is fixed up right and on time. He loves all things bikes…his favorite kind of riding is gravel and mountain. Tim holds two music degrees, one from St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN and one from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX. He is a performer on horn, guitar, and piano for Copper Street Brass, a full-time arts non-profit he co-founded in 2008 and built from the ground up into one of the premier arts organizations in the midwest. He also serves as Artistic Director, meaning he arranges/composes all their music they perform and also programs their concerts, education, and outreach performances…check out www.copperstreetbrass.org to learn more. Tim has played guitar for over 30 years and plays in two rock bands in the Twin Cities…Treehorn (90s hard rock/grunge) and The MOB (classic rock). In 2020 Tim founded Nightjar Guitars where he builds, by hand, electric guitars from salvaged and reclaimed wood/materials. Tim brings his entrepreneurial spirit, extreme attention to detail, and go-getter attitude to Northwoods Cycle, and is excited to serve the community of Rice Lake and help keep your bike running smoothly!
