Tim is an entrepreneur with a diverse background and interests. He is the inventor of The MixMizer©, a tool for measuring fuel in 2-cycle engines which is now sold nation-wide through Wal-Mart and other chain retailers. He also holds a Masters degree in theology and spent 10 years serving as a pastor.

The strengths that Tim brought to NWS were strong integrity, good relational skills, an understanding of the stresses and financial realities that face all small businesses -- medical and otherwise -- and a desire to provide services that benefit people's lives. In keeping with those goals, NWS provides medical brokerage services to their clients, helping them locate, buy and sell both new and pre-owned medical devices.

Perhaps the most memorable job to date was providing endoscopy equipment for National Geographic TV for videotaping a researcher reaching into a live crocodile's stomach-from the inside!
Thanks to a strong customer referral base, NWS has grown from a one-man operation to a thriving business that includes biomedical technicians, field sales support, and an active e-commerce site (www.nwsmedical.com).

NWS has also grown in the geographical area served and the kinds of equipment they can source. NWS's customer base today extends North to Alaska, South to Texas and from California to New York. NWS has helped their clients source everything from mayo stands to MRI's and has built a broad network of reliable manufacturers, refurbishers, dealers and end-users. Whatever the customer's need, NWS is a valuable resource.
