We’re very happy to announce that Tim Eckel has joined the WebArt and BusinessVoice teams. Tim will be responsible for the technical builds of websites and, of course, taking out his own trash.

Tim has a degree from the University of Toledo in Computer Science. Most recently he owned his own company. He also spent many years with Kronos in Novi, Michigan. And I guess he did some babysitting as a teen.

Tim’s name is an anagram for Celk Mite, a microscopic parasite of the Arctic Celk Moose, which is totally ironic because a good 30% of the materials in our servers are made from the antlers of the Celk Moose. And I did three semesters of undergrad work at UT’s Arctic campus. AND I love the taste of moose. I know, right? 

Tim brings with him a vast knowledge of computer programming languages: PHP, SQL, HTML, JavaScript, Visual Studio, ASP.NET, C++, Pascal and REXX. He also speaks conversational Yiddish. He has worked on systems from Windows, Unix and Linux, to FreeBSD Mac and IBM Mainframes.

Despite the heavy influence of computers on his life, Tim actually met a girl once. They got married and live happily with their two children, R2D2 and C3PO Eckel.
