Phoenix Biz Journal hires small biz reporter

Tim Gallen has been hired at the Phoenix Business Journal to cover small business.

Cale Ottens writes, “Gallen, 29, most recently was a communications coordinator for the Recreation Centers of Sun City Inc. and has experience covering economic development and new business, particularly in the West Valley.

“As a graduate of Pacific Lutheran University in Washington, Gallen earned his degree in communications with an emphasis in print journalism. He said he chose a career in journalism because he loves telling stories, as he also is working on a novel.

“Gallen said he’s excited to become more involved in the lively business community across the entire metro area.

“‘I look forward most to getting to meet a good crop of people who are passionate about what they’re doing,’ he said. ‘It takes a certain person with focus and energy to run a business.'”
