Who We Are

Email Tim	Tim Kane Editor A 16-year veteran of the newspaper industry, Tim has been a part of the Turley team for two years now.

Tim has a BA from Fitchburg State College and attended the American Press Institute. Tim lives in Brookfield with his wife, Danielle, and their two sons, Timmy Jr. and Christopher. His pastimes include songwriting, drumming, writing fiction, cross-country skiing, hiking, trail maintenance, and volunteering for the Boy Scouts.
