Tim is the President and Founder of Patriot Restoration. He started his restoration career as a technician in high school and worked for a local restoration company in Knoxville while in college. Having spent most of his life on building sites and his dad being a builder, it was a natural fit for Tim in the property damage industry. He went into the corporate world for several years before starting this company in an effort to get back into it at the ownership level. 

Tim’s favorite aspect of the job is the variety and challenge in helping customers during a frustrating, and sometimes traumatizing, event that can unfortunately be a part of home ownership. He explains that “every situation we encounter and every client we run into is different. Most of the time we are walking into their homes which have been damaged by water, mold, fire, or whatever it is and it is traumatizing to them. To watch them transform from complete panic to acceptance to comfort knowing that we have the knowledge and skillset to properly handle the situation at hand is very rewarding. We get to help people in their most fragile moments and make a living doing it! Beats a desk job any day . . . trust me!”

When he isn’t in the office or on job sites, Tim’s free time is spent with his wife and two boys: Thomas (6) and Cooper (4).
