Tim Tyrell-Smith

Packaged Goods Marketing Executive and Blogger (ideas and job search strategy)

Tim Tyrell-Smith is a 21 year veteran consumer packaged goods marketer who has always loved the creative side of brand management. He believes that new ideas are the momentum creator in any organization.

He writes the blog Quixoting™ - A Quest for New Ideas, a new site dedicated to bringing old and new ideas to life by releasing them to the world. An idea junkie himself, Tim created Quixoting as a place to empty his "bottom drawer" of saved up ideas. Based on the the book Don Quixote by Cervantes, this site draws on the impulsive and daring nature of the "knight" to inspire readers to act on their ideas and, in turn, fulfill their dreams.

He also writes the blog Spin Strategy™ - Tools for Intelligent Job Search, a new efficiency-based job search strategy and tool set that is based on the concept of "plate-spinning". It helps place the right efforts against the right resources to maximize the return in job search. He created Spin Strategy in 2007 after coming out of his own job search experience with a desire to share his new found methodology with anyone needing support in finding that next great role.

Tim lives in Mission Viejo, California with his beautiful wife of 15 years and three awesome kids. He plays baseball while coaching and umpiring little league games. He also enjoys watching his kids play AYSO and Club soccer games on the weekends.

Blogging has allowed a great creative release for Tim. He encourages anyone else to jump in and share their ideas with the world!
