Meet one of our 2025 40 Under 40s: Tim Muldoon: Commercial Underwriter, Acuity Insurance!

Q: What is one cause or issue that you’re especially passionate about, and why?

A: Building inclusive communities. People now have the ability to connect with others on a global scale in an instant, but yet we are seeing elevated levels of loneliness. There's a reason why I prefer participating in races, rather than running out the front door of my house—people from different backgrounds and experiences running together on the same course.
