Through his role with HHS, he assisted Rhode Island Governor Don Carcieri with victim identification and creating and managing the family assistance program in the aftermath of the Station Nightclub fire that killed 100 people in 2003. He advised the Governor for nearly two years and helped Rhode Island rebuild its homeland security and emergency management organizations.

Since 2012, Tim has served on the U.S. Department of Defense’s 9/11 Prosecution Task Force in the case United States vs. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, et al. He is liaison to the 9/11 families, survivors, victims, witnesses, and other government entities for the lead prosecutor. He maintains a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information clearance.
