Jamin Thuecks, a Brillion, WI native joined PrimeTime part time in 2004, while attending school at the University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh, where he studied Business.  Jamin’s personal running career began early on and extended through his days at Brillion High School.  Since running has always been a big part of his life, it was only fitting that he joined a company that keeps him involved in the racing community.  Jamin has quickly become one of the major forces behind PT Timing, individually timing over 75 events each year and overseeing the Central and Northeastern Wisconsin events.  In the Fall of 2008 Jamin became a part of PT Timing full time when he moved to St. Paul, MN with his wife Chelsie.  Currently Jamin oversees all cross country and track events at the Interscholastic level as well as many of the collegiate events.  Jamin’s father Steve has also worked as a track and field timer for PT Timing since 2005.  Jamin and his wife now resides in Wisconsin Rapids, WI.
