    After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania with a BA in English, and serving in the United States Army in Southeast Asia, Tim started his financial services career with White, Weld & Co. in Philadelphia, PA as an institutional fixed–income specialist.

    In 1978 Tim joined Kidder, Peabody & Co., and in 1980 was asked to come to New York to continue in sales. In 1985 he was appointed the Director of Unit Investment Trust Department, creating the first high yield UIT. In 1987, Tim co-founded KP High Yield Asset Management, which structured the first Collateralized Bond Obligations – the Institutional Investors Deal of the Year. Moving to KP Asset Management, he structured and marketed the first US Dollar denominated off-shore money fund. He later was promoted to be the senior portfolio manager of all of Kidder's Municipal Bond Funds and separately managed accounts, with assets under management in excess of $1 Billion.

    In 1993, Tim was recruited by Legg Mason in Baltimore, Maryland to be the National Institutional Fixed Income Sales Manager. After a substantial acquisition, he successfully integrated the two sales forces, and recruited and supervised sales personnel in multiple trading locations.

    He returned to New York to the recently merged firm of Paine Webber- Kidder Peabody as a National Corporate Relationship manager, selling corporate services to Fortune 500 Companies. When UBS bought PW-KP, Tim was fortunate enough to be able to return to Philadelphia to work with money managers and family offices in the area.

    Since returning to Philadelphia, Tim has been an active participant in for, and not-for profit Boards. He served as Treasurer of American Insight from 2004 – 2009, The Samuel Fleisher Art Memorial as Trustee and Vice President from 2004 – 2013, and Treasurer of The Stoneleigh Foundation from 2010 – 2017. He currently serves on the First Hospital Foundation board, Hungerford & Terry board, and is President of the Ardnamurchan Club.
