Tim Farides

Tim has worked at LICN since 2012, starting as a Systems Administrator and working primarily for one client. Now, as Sr. Network Engineer, he is leveraging his experience to help many of the LICN clients with ongoing support and new implementations.

Tim grew up in Patchogue and graduated from Patchogue Medford High School. Now living in Medford, he has spent most of his life in Eastern Suffolk near the South Shore. He spent two years at Suffolk County Community College earning a degree in IT, Networks, and Communications, and was a TA for the Cisco Academy. Later he attended Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute for three semesters and had the opportunity to have his own radio show at WRPI, where he was also the Hard Rock Music Director. He volunteered for UPAC Sound, where he supported live events with professional-grade touring audio equipment all over campus.

Tim lives and breathes Metal. Heavy Metal. He mostly attends shows in the northeast, but occasionally travels the cross country and even on cruise ships out at sea. Some of Tim’s favorite bands are Insomnium, Amorphis, and Evergrey. When Tim isn’t rocking out, he’s probably tinkering with Arduinos, wrenching on race cars, or catching a Yankees game.
