New Member's Real Identity Unveiled
We made a mistake here in the Windjammer bunker last night and published the name of our newest member incorrectly. I am so sorry. We try hard enough to recruit new members, spelling their name wrong doesn't encourage retention. Welcome Tim Hooper. We're glad you're here!

Past President Chris Rosado introduced Tim Hooper as a new Portland Rotarian. Tim worked long ago with President Amy Chipman at the Harbor Fish Market and worked his way up through the Portland Press Herald, Pierce Promotions, and most recently as a successful business owner of a communications and security firm with operations in 44 states and 24 countries.
After selling his company, he searched for a new opportunity and purchased AEC Engineering in Freeport from Patty Erikson’s husband who was looking to retire. Tim lives in Falmouth with his two daughters, and his wife of 20 years, Abigail. Tim also likes to play ice hockey, he mountain bikes, and fishes recreationally for lobsters in Casco Bay. He also fancies himself as a gardener with a backyard farm and goats. Past President Chris Rosado met Tim playing hockey, and while attending the Maine Outdoor Challenge. Once Tim heard about Rotary, he got involved. Please welcome our newest member Tim Hooper to the Club.
