Tim’s wife, Amy, of 9 years also hopes for him to find a stranger to talk to on the plane, so she can get some quiet time during the flight. Tim is highly motivated and energetic with over 7 years of experience growing his firm’s customer base by building and preserving trusting relationships. He has worked for contractors and engineering firms in business development and client relations roles. Tim brings knowledge and excitement to the business development topic.
