About

Hi, I’m Tim Wilson, a K–12 technology executive, executive/life coach, leadership developer, and occasional programmer when I’ve got an itch to scratch. (Check out my Projects page for some recent work.) I did my coaching training with the Newfield Network.

My current full-time job is executive director of IT Services for Minneapolis Public Schools. I lead a team of approximately 60 in the fourth largest school district in Minnesota. Our nearly 30,000 students and thousands of teachers use iPads and Chromebooks daily to enhance teaching and learning.

My company, Acuity Leadership Group, provides executive coaching and customized training solutions for leaders and companies around the country. Want to try a free, no obligation coaching session to find out if coaching would benefit you? Let’s do it!

Before starting ALG, I was the Midwest Regional Sales Manager for Edupoint. Edupoint makes the Synergy student information system (SIS) and related products.

I’m a professional archer and USA Archery Level 3 Coach who competes in local, state, and national tournaments. I’ve been the president of the Minnesota Archers Alliance (MAA) since 2015. The MAA is the Minnesota affiliate of USA Archery, the National Field Archery Association, and S3DA. You can view my archery resume online.

Things I’m Into #

My main programming language is Python, but I like R too for statistical modeling. My favorite website buildings tools are Django and Hugo. I keep meaning to learn one of the many Javascript frameworks, but none of them have stuck yet. PostgreSQL is awesome, though I find myself using SQLite more these days. My programming environment is mostly PyCharm, WebStorm, and BBEdit running on an M1 MacBook Pro usually in Docker containers.

OK Archery makes great bows. I’m an NFAA senior pro and am proud to be on the OK Archery U.S. staff team. I’m also on the Flex-Fletch staff as a sponsored archer. UltraView is a client of mine and a maker of fine archery products.

If you’re in Blaine, MN on a Sunday, check out Renovation Church. I’m an elder there and lead one of the house churches. You will never regret learning more about Jesus. He’s probably a lot more radical than you think. If you’re curious, check out the BibleProject and the BibleProject Podcast.

I root for Minnesota United FC and Ferrari. (Go Charles!)
