He began his career in the late 1990s, contributing as an assistant editor to notable films such as "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut" (1999) and Oliver Stone's "Any Given Sunday" (1999). Over the early 2000s, he worked on projects including "The Chronicles of Riddick," "Speed Racer," and "Grand Champion," steadily building his reputation in the editorial department. During the 2010s, Wimmer became closely associated with Michael Bay's action-packed franchise films.

In recent years, Wimmer stepped fully into the editor role for Michael Bay productions, shaping the final cut of "6 Underground" (2019) and "Ambulance" (2022). He returned to the "Transformers" universe as an additional editor on "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts" (2023).

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
