Tim joined Media Production, as a Producer/Director, in January of 2000.  He believes it is his career mission to use his vision to facilitate vision in education, science, research and the human condition.

His career media and television production spans sixteen years. He graduated from the University of Kansas in 1986, with a degree in Radio, Television, and Film. He then worked in local cable production and K-12 instructional television in his native Kansas City.

Tim’s lifelong interest in science, aircraft and the space program paid off in 1989 when he accepted a position as a Producer/Director with NASA-TV, at NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center, located at Edwards Air Force Base in California. During the next ten years he worked with many exciting NASA flight research and public affairs projects that took him up mountains, across deserts, to the Hawaiian island of Kauai and even the set of “Star Trek: Voyager”, in Hollywood!  His favorite part of working there though was acting as a camera operator on Space Shuttle landings! It was a truly rewarding experience and an honor working with NASA.

Tim enjoys working in the university atmosphere where he can support IU’s educational and research missions. He likes working the wide variety of disciplines, supporting the work of faculty, and working with students.

One of his productions, a documentary about the history of the “Indiana Murals” of Thomas Hart Benton that reside on the Bloomington campus, won a prestigious CINE Golden Eagle award in 2002.

Although Tim was born and raised in the Kansas City area, his parents were from Elkhart, Indiana.  He still has many relatives in that area and is proud of his Hoosier roots.

He has been a member of the Media Communications Association – International since 1996.

Joe Stone is the principal Audio Engineer for the IUB branch of Media Design & Production. You may have seen him making his way around campus, to classrooms, conference rooms, theaters, and auditoriums with a dolly of media gear in tow.

Joe's interest in audio began as early as 6 years old, when he began using a record player and a cassette recorder to put together make-believe radio shows. When he reached high school, he upgraded his make-believe radio show for a real one, at Warren Central High School's radio station. Since then, Joe's interests in sound have led him to working with Live Sound, Musical Instrument Retailers, Stagehand Unions, and Recording Studios.

He has been with Media Design & Production (formerly Media Production under ISS) since September 2001. In his spare time he enjoys recording his friend's music, tinkering with electronics, riding his bike, mixed martial arts, journalizing, and sustainability.
