Lightbulb Moments

Lightbulb Moments are periods in time where a lightbulb turns on for you. Where you discover more about yourself through others when unexpected situations occur. How you respond, adapt, and grow are all a part of this journey we’re on.

In great or challenging times it’s important not to get too high or low, and reading through the stories of others can offer more reflections on yourself than anything. This is my attempt to help others with such reflections by sharing the stories of people I find inspiring.

About Me

Hi, I’m Tim.

I live in Cole Valley, San Francisco with my wife, Julie, and two daughters Addie and Audra. I tend to write a bunch about leading Sales teams, lately I’ve been passionate about writing other people’s stories which has been a hell of a lot of fun. I’m particularly drawn to the psychology of selling, leading people and how people make decisions and get motivation from in general.

Outside of professional, I enjoy listening to epic sci-fi, character driven novels, business books and memoirs and the occasional Stephen King while I run long distances to decompress. I’m an avid skier and cook, and am obsessed with watching my two girls grow. For a good ice breaker, ask me about my Bernese Mountain Dog and what I learned in coaching my two girls soccer teams without any soccer experience.
