White House aide to President George W. Bush
On the record
Timothy Goeglein was born in Fort Wayne on January 6, 1964, and grew up in the city — "growing up in Fort Wayne, Ind.," as he later put it. He studied journalism at Indiana University, graduating in 1986, and came home for a first job as executive news producer at WKJG-TV, Fort Wayne's NBC station. From 1988 to 1998 he was press secretary and then communications director for Senator Dan Coats; he then spoke for Gary Bauer's 1999 presidential campaign. From 2001 to 2008 he was a special assistant to President George W. Bush and deputy director of the White House Office of Public Liaison. He resigned in 2008 after it came to light that guest columns he wrote for the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel had reused other writers' work without credit. In January 2009 he became vice president for external and government relations at Focus on the Family, and his memoir, The Man in the Middle, appeared in 2011.
