    Tim has spent 34 years and is the fourth generation to work in our family-owned firm with roots in Utah. I started working with my father (Tim Sr.) as a young boy cleaning up job sites. As a teen I moved to working on a ladder installing rain gutter. I worked my way through college from that ladder and upon Graduating from BYUs Marriott School of business in 2003 my father and I became partners. Since then, we have grown from a father and son one truck company to over 60 employees and sub-contractors, making us the largest Rain Gutter and Siding company in Utah. We install rain gutter, leaf protection, ice melting systems, siding, stucco, stone, and windows. Although there have been some very cold days on that ladder and some very long night looking over company finances. I have enjoyed this business from my youth.

    Along with my father and Grandfather I have had great mentors in the construction community and now I have been given the opportunity to help others like they helped me.

    I love serving in the community and have served on the executive board of directors for Riverton Football. I also coach High school football and wrestling and have for 10 years.
