Born and raised in Louisville, Tim is a proud Louisville fan now living in the heart of Lexington. He spent his career building a strong foundation in the service industry, beginning as a teenager and gaining more than two decades of experience. Tim joined the Drake's Brannon Crossing team in October 2019 as a server, worked through the challenges of the COVID shutdown, and quickly trained into key leadership. His dedication and growth led him into management at the start of 2021, where he continued to focus on team development and operational excellence. He was promoted to managing partner of Drake's Leestown in 2026.

Outside of work, Tim has been married to his wife Brittany since 2009. The two originally met working together in the service industry. They have boy/girl twins, Rece and Ava, who also work for Drake's. In his free time, Tim enjoys golfing!
