Besides Tim’s vast education in home construction and system components, Tim comes from the service and detail oriented field of Golf.

Golf has taught Tim to look at things considering the “big picture”. This meant managing the golf shop, driving range, golf course, upcoming tournaments, staff, course conditions, lessons, etc … all at the same time. And if something fell through the cracks, there was going to be trouble. Tim uses those same skill sets to look at your property … balancing all major and minor systems and how they’re working together to best get a “big picture” of the property and its overall condition. Tim is as honest as they come and the current president of “Christ the King” Lutheran Church in Dalton, GA.
