Tim Vollmer
For 13 years school teachers complained that Tim talked too much and didn’t respect authority. Thankfully he didn’t listen and now makes a living out of both, predominantly by helping unions and non-profit organisations improve their media profile through his day job at Mountain Media (http://www.mountainmedia.com.au). In former lives he has been a full-time union official and a Daily Telegraph journalist, but now he keeps busy bushwalking, attempting to be a role model to his three sons, avoiding odd jobs around the three bedroom brick veneer, walking the dogs and generally complaining about politicians and their countless failings, especially where western Sydney is concerned.
