Tim grew up on the mission field in southern Africa, where his parents served the local population through mission aviation. 

After returning to Switzerland for a four‑year apprenticeship as an automation and avionics technician, he felt called to serve the Lord through aviation.  He holds both European EASA and U.S. FAA certifications as an aircraft‑maintenance and avionics technician, along with commercial pilot licenses for helicopters and airplanes.

Since meeting Fabienne and later marrying in May 2022, they have shared that calling and are dedicated to investing their talents and skills in mission aviation for the glory of the Lord.
