Born in the Rocket City in the mid 1960's, Tim McElyea experienced the wonder of the space age first hand. In the 1960's Huntsville Alabama was a flurry of space activity with engine tests, a space museum, rocket parks, and ticker tape parades for astronauts. This early fascination has never stopped.

He earned an Art degree from University of Alabama in Huntsville and began to explore the computer as a new medium. Having exhibited his fine art prints, drawings, and sculpture for years nationwide, he was ready for a new canvas. Computer animation and multimedia proved to be a perfect venue. After working as the Director of Animation and Multimedia for Intergraph Corporation he decided to take the next step. In 1995 he founded Media Fusion, Inc. to be a studio where companies and organizations could come to for artful communication media.
