The ideal candidate would be enthusiastic about points and miles, be willing to work odd hours dictated by circumstance, have excellent writing skills, and most of all be fun to work with.
Tim is in front of a meeting. He will be in one of those boxes.
Tim had the right combination of points & miles knowledge, humor, and team-fit, and we all agreed that he was the right person for the job.
In his own words, here is a bit about Tim.
Since my first road trip as a teenager, I have been obsessed with exploring the world. My first big journey with my wife was a 100 day round-the-world honeymoon, in which I crashed the car and was stopped for speeding in every country that we visited, but I think that I may still have an arrest warrant in New Zealand. She wasn't scared off and we've been uncovering every corner of the world since. I discovered the world of points and miles after starting my career in the wine industry, thanks in part to the work of Greg The Frequent Miler. I have been blown away by what has been possible, the experiences we have had and how many great people we have met. One of the few corners of Washington State where you can still get a gift card from Safeway is where we live, we own a winery, ski after work and hike as much as our elderly knees will allow.
Join me in welcoming Tim to the team.
