Partner, Tax & Advisory

Ask, listen and speak up (and vice versa).

Tim has a simple rule he lives by: Ask a lot of questions, actively listen, and speak up when you don't understand. He feels it shows the person you care, value their perspective, and you learn more about their story. That's why Tim loves working with our clients — he works hard to earn their trust as a valued and dependable tax advisor. That is a priceless skill that both our clients and all of us here at GBQ appreciate. Tim also enjoys the outdoors and backpacking, recently seeing Yosemite, Yellowstone, and Isle Royale.

He knows Columbus' story, as well. He's lived here since he was one year old and met his future wife, Jill, at his last senior dance at St. Charles. They created their own story from that moment — filled with two grown, successful children and their dog, Teagan. Keep writing your story, Tim!
