In 2015 Timothy helped start the online horror entertainment site iHorror.com. Since then, it has become one of the top news sites in that genre. He has also become a leading voice in LGBTQ+ news media as the editor-in-chief for San Diego Gay & Lesbian News and Gaycation Magazine. He now resides in Arizona and writes for Phoenix New Times and Edge Media.
