Lt. Gov. Mark Schweiker assumed office as Governor of Pennsylvania, when Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge suddenly resigned his office in aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to become Homeland Security Advisor to U.S. President George W. Bush. McNulty served with Governor Schweiker for the substantial balance of the term of office as governor to which Ridge had been elected. On Mark Schweiker's last full day of office as governor, that is on January 20, 2003, McNulty left government service to return to Carnegie Mellon University to act as the special assistant to its provost for strategic technology initiatives. Tim McNulty had worked at the university before entering government service.

McNulty received his B.A. from Indiana University and an M.A. in public policy from the University of Illinois at Chicago.[1][2]
