Timothy E Collins

A native of nearby Connecticut, Tim has been a resident of Warwick, Rhode Island since 2007, shortly after meeting the love of his life, Colleen. After graduating from Killingly High School in 19... ah... a long, long time ago, Tim spent a year at Penn State, two years at Quinebaug Valley Community College, and two years at New England Institute of Technology before settling in to the world of manufacturing. With a little push from his wife, he finally received his Bachelor's degree from Eastern Connecticut State University at the age of 45 and his Master's from Harvard University at the age of 50. Professionally, Tim works as the Director of Safety for a large international cleanroom construction firm headquartered in Massachusetts and gets to travel North America, visiting job sites to ensure everyone is being safe. Although that pays the bills, Tim is most at-home at home, building, fixing, or creating something. Whether it is upgrading a bathroom, building a new deck, or installing a new linen closet, there is always a project happening at home. And when the home projects are finished, Tim can often be found at Tranquil Touch Mind & Body Spa in Conimicut Village, implementing one of Colleen's visions for her spa, or driving the back roads of Rhode Island and Connecticut with Colleen in their 1964 Corvair Monza Convertible (top down, of course).

In his spare time, Tim likes to dabble in several creative outlets. Author. Poet. Lyricist. Woodworker. Engraver. Rocket Scientist (OK, maybe not that one). Some might say 'Renaissance Man', but Tim prefers 'Jack of all, Master of none'. And, sometimes, he even sleeps.

Tim lives in Gaspee (Warwick) with his wife Colleen and three rescue cats, Ukiah (KiKi), Maleficent (Mally) and Luna (LuLu). Together, Colleen and Tim share four children, Trevor, Ryan, Tyler, and Kaetlyn, who are each out and about, living their own lives as adults. Tim and Colleen also have two granddaughters, Thea and Lilia, the apples of their eyes, that live nearby in Connecticut.
