Tim develops, advances, and defends regulatory policies empowering customers and communities to choose the source of their electricity. His practice centers on community choice aggregation and customer-based resources such as solar, energy storage, and combined heat and power. His work includes administrative litigation, workshops, and policymaking in a number of different state and federal jurisdictions. His experience put him in a hearing room at the California Public Utilities Commission three days after he passed the bar in 2009. Tim splits his time between Wisconsin and the firm’s office in San Francisco. When not in the office, you can find Tim riding a mountain bike, backcountry camping or telemark skiing.
