About Tim

For five decades Tim McMahon kept machines running as a maintenance mechanic, never imagining he’d one day be known for words instead of wrenches. What began as a simple practice of cathartic writing has grown into a lifelong conversation with the world around him. Tim draws his inspiration from the beauty of nature, the echoes of family and memory, and the perspective that comes with looking back over a rich and hard-working life.
