My full name is Randall Timothy Kreulen. I actually go by my middle name, so most people simply refer to me as "Tim." This is easy to pronounce, as the word is only one syllable. If it gives you trouble, think of the element tin (Sn). Just replace the "n" with an "m" and you have my name. My last name, Kreulen, is slightly trickier. The first syllable is the stressed one. It is pronounced like the work "cruel." The second syllable is unstressed, and is pronounced like the word "in." Thus, my last name is pronounced "Cruel-in." | My full name is Randall Timothy Kreulen. I actually go by my middle name, so most people simply refer to me as "Tim."
