Tim has been the Program's Instructional Assistant since October 1992. He is an alumni of the Program, holding an AAS Degree in Communication Design and Electronic Graphic Design. Tim assists students and faculty in the classroom and individually.

Before attending NVCC Tim worked ten years with his father, Don Brockman, an American saddle horse, trainer. At that time Brockman Stables was located in Neenah, Wisconsin. Tim spent a winter helping an uncle film Point Ryes National Seashore and then moved on to earn a "Six Pack" - Charter Boat Skippers License for power or sail on the eastern side of Lake Michigan. Being around boats and good repairing them he eventually went to work for Nimphius Boats, Neshkoro, and later the Boat Works in Oshkosh and later still, Sweetwater Boats also of Neshkoro. All these boat yards were located in Wisconsin.

When lean times hit the boat building world Tim became a carpenter. After several years on construction sites, circumstances changed. Drawing and painting became the focus for several years. When illustration peaked his interest he found his way to the Communication Design Program at the Alexandria Campus. That was more than 12 years ago.
