Hi! I'm Timothy Unkert (I also go by Tim) and this website is a work in progress! I've just started a new YouTube channel and have decided to get more active with my online presence again, I may even add a blog to this! Here is a bit of information about me:

About Me

I've been working in education (with a couple brief breaks in web development) since 2005. I've been nominated for Teacher of the Year in both 2021 and 2025. I've taught the following courses:

I've also worked as a professional web developer at two companies and as a "webmaster" / editor at an online magazine.

Sports

In a former life, when I was thin, I was an elite cyclist who traveled the country, medaling twice in the national championships, and briefly ranked #1 in my age group in the United States (as an amateur).

Before that I was a top alpine ski racer until about 15. I won a Giant Slalom, while placing highly in many slaloms, and was 2nd in a state championship in Giant Slalom after I made a brief comeback to ski racing at 21 years old.

Interests

I like long walks on the beach ... scratch that, I like going to the mountains in the rockies and wondering if I'll see civilization again. I did a 7 hour hike on the outskirts of Vail last year and ran out of water the last 2 hours. It was worth it though because I hiked to a lake above 11,000 feet in elevation and there were still snow banks on the lake in August! Epic!!!
