Tim Moore

My name is Tim Moore. I was born and raised in Gouldsboro, Maine, which is part of that Down East Maine folks are always talking about. My name when I was born was Timothy Robert Lounder.

I started reading and writing at a very young age. The first book I can remember reading was a Hardy Boys adventure story. After that, I was into just about anything I could get my hands on, though I do have a particular passion for science fiction, fantasy, and speculative fiction.

I wrote a lot up until my mother passed away from brain cancer when I was 11 years old. At that point, I disappeared into reading and the escape it gave and didn’t come out of it for a long time.

A number of things occupied my time from then on. I graduated from the Maine School of Science and Mathematics, despite mathematics being my worst subject. I then struggled for ten years before earning my undergraduate degree in English literature and creative writing.

I now work at Automattic, the parent company of WordPress.com, Jetpack, Akismet, VaultPress, and various other projects. I wrangle code on a daily basis.

I’m also getting back into the saddle on wrangling words, when I’m not wrangling my two beautiful daughters or stealing a moment of quiet with my wife.
