Tim is a husband to Amy of 19 years and father to Abbie and Cash, and a 22 year veteran at TMMK. Over the course of time at Toyota, he has held a variety of positions, GPC trainer for the Lexus ES350 plant, as well as, the team leader of the Quality Gate and Surface Damage.
Besides overseeing 3 team members who inspect the vehicles, Tim also assisted with countermeasures focused on identifying possible defects, ensuring that the Lexus customers receive the "perfect vehicle”. In the first year of production TMMK Lexus line won the JD Power platinum plant award for best quality. This is the highest honor that an automotive plant can achieve.
With Tim's ongoing commitment to Toyota, he helped develop an invention geared toward safety in 2008, and as a result, he was awarded a U.S. Patent. In 2012, Tim implemented a project where a group of developmentally- challenged individuals gained employment at TMMK. The group had been given the opportunity to sub-assemble parts for production. By the means of employment, these individuals gained a sense of worth, pride and value within themselves. Also within the work environment, Tim has been appointed as the Chairman of the Toyota Christian Fellowship business partnering group. The Toyota Christian fellowship is a business partnering group to bring team members of faith together. This creates a positive workplace where diversity and inclusion is used to find everyone’s strengths and use those strengths to better the company and community.
In addition to his work ethic and religious commitment, Tim has also published a book entitled, " One Team on All Levels," which the first edition was published in January, 2011. This book focuses on various TMMK team members's life experiences, both their successes and struggles and how the company has developed them as people. Tim has donated all of the profits to the bereavement fund for those team members at TMMK who have lost a loved one or is facing a difficult circumstance in life.

Tim’s work at church focuses on cancer care and members who have lost a loved one. The outreach ministry involves starting a foster program at church. Victory life is currently working on creating a food / clothing bank. The management of the food / clothing bank will be managed by following the Toyota production system principles. In addition to his religious commitment, Tim was chosen as a "Bluegrass Community Connector” in 2012, the “connectors " were selected from 5,000 nominees, who are very involved within many aspects of their given communities. Two years later, in 2014, Tim was the recipient of the John Maxwell Leadership Award, as being one of the top 100 leaders for both his ministry and community commitments.
In 2017, Tim did the unexpected and retired from Toyota to pursue a career in the manufacturing world to broaden his knowledge across multiple businesses. His responsibilities included working with the suppliers, manufacturing sites across 3 locations and communicates regularly with the customer. In 2018, Tim became a John Maxwell Certified Speaker, trainer, and coach. A goal that he had long dreamed of that would help develop his speaking, training and communication skills.

Tim’s goal in life is to “pay it forward” and help others become who God wants them to be and to find their calling in life. He wants to help businesses grow and succeed to keep people working and making a fair wage that allows them to be a contributing member of society.
