A two-time NCAA All-American and USATF champion, Tim Fua joined the UC Davis track & field coaching staff as a throws coach in 2006, then was elevated to full-time status at the end of his first season. He now enters his fifth year with the Aggie program.

Fua has coached at both the two-year and four-year collegiate level since graduating with a bachelor's degree in public administration from Chico State in 1997. He capped his Wildcat career by earning NCAA Division II All-America status, placing sixth in both the shot put and discus at the 1996 national meet. Through the 2005 season, Fua continues to rank among Chico State's all-time top performers in both events.

Fua's coaching career began at Butte Community College in Oroville, where he served as a throws coach in 1997. He then spent two years in a similar role at Stockton's San Joaquin Delta College for the 1999 and 2000 seasons, before returning to Chico State. While earning his master's degree in exercise science, Fua served as a throws coach for the Wildcats and a faculty instructor in the department.

In addition to teaching and coaching, Fua remained active as an athlete. In 2002, he captured the USATF Submasters indoor national title in the shot put, then added outdoor championships in the shot, discus and hammer throw.

Fua completed his master's degree in 2002, then stayed on to assist with the Chico State program for two more seasons. He moved to the Sacramento area in 2004, assuming a dual role of an adjunct faculty member in physical education/health science and an assistant track & field coach at Sacramento City College.
