Meet our timers
Curt Winders
Curt Winders is the Owner and Primary Timer at Perfect Timing. A former three-sport athlete from Spencer, Indiana, Curt earned nine varsity letters in cross country, basketball, and track during his time with the Patriots. His deep passion for the running community reflects a lifelong connection to the sport. A unique highlight of Curt's journey is that he and his wife, Jen, tied the knot while running a half marathon.
Over the past decade at Perfect Timing, Curt has timed hundreds of races and directed events such as the Hoosier Half Marathon and Hoosiers Outrun Cancer. He has also managed USATF track meets and cross-country races and contributed to course development for numerous races across south-central Indiana. Certified in RunSignup and RaceDay CheckIn, Curt has facilitated the setup and renewal of hundreds of races for thousands of participants.
Residing in Bloomington, Curt shares his life with his wife Jennifer and their four children—Jacob, Grace, Hannah, and Caleb—all of whom attended Lighthouse Christian Academy and Bloomington North High School.
Professionally, Curt serves as a Senior Planner at Boston Scientific in Spencer, Indiana, specializing in medical devices for Endoscopy and Urology procedures. In his spare time, he enjoys traveling with his family and exploring the great outdoors through hiking.
Aaron Miller
Aaron Miller is an experienced race timer with a deep passion for running and athletics. A former three-sport athlete, Aaron competed in cross country and track all four years of high school, developing a lifelong connection to the sport.

Professionally, Aaron is a Revenue Operations Consultant specializing in Salesforce environments. When not at the finish line or the dinner table, Aaron enjoys traveling with his family. They have a goal of visiting all 50 states before their oldest graduates in 2026, only 3 states to go!
Jacob Fowler
Jacob is a son of Curt Winders and is a timer for Perfect Timing. Being from a family of runners, it was only a matter of time before Jacob became interested in competitive running. This led to some good feats, as he was a part of a high school state competing 4x800 relay team. Jacob suggests, however, that beyond the competition, running fosters unity (some say this mindset change was prompted by being outperformed by his decade-younger brother.) During college at Indiana University, Jacob would use running as a form of meditation. Jacob’s current relationship with running is that he goes on runs with his friends and has meaningful conversations while doing so.
Professionally, Jacob is the Housing Consultant for Clear Creek Homes, a custom home builder in Bloomington. He is a multi-recreational-athlete. During any given week, Jacob engages in a variety of activities: renting a basketball court with his large pickup basketball group, playing pickleball, participating in a bowling league, and going for runs. The critics say there is no way he will have time for all of these activities in five years or so. Regardless, Jacob wishes to always connect with others through activity and this is why he cares about your finish in the race.
Drew Warren
Drew’s running journey began in 8th grade, where he discovered a passion for the sport that carried him through high school as a dedicated member of his cross country and track teams at Bloomington North High School. His love for running led him to Indiana University, where he pursued a degree in Sports Marketing and Management.
While at IU, Drew expanded his athletic pursuits by taking up cycling and becoming a rider for Nick’s Cycling, a Little 500 team. In addition to his personal athletic growth, Drew found a passion for mentoring others. During his freshman year, he started coaching cross country for Batchelor Middle School, a role he continued throughout his college years.
In 2018, Drew began working with Perfect Timing as a race timer, combining his organizational skills and love for the running community to contribute to the behind-the-scenes of events.
Drew is happily married to his lovely wife, Caroline. They currently live in Terre Haute, Indiana, where Caroline is pursuing her Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology. In their free time, they enjoy traveling and exploring new and exciting places together.
