Nonprofits - Media - Small Business
Hi! I'm Tim.
I am married to Trudy, dad of six, and grandpop to seven grandkids. I am a Christ-follower, and I love to encourage people. I have been blessed with administrative gifts, financial knowledge and a ton of real-life leadership experience in growing organizations.
I served as president of KSBJ/Houston, the largest nonprofit Christian radio station in the United States for over 26 years. During that time, the station's revenue grew from $500,000 to over $19 million and the audience also grew from just over 100,000 to nearly one million people. Most recently I worked at a smaller organization with a big vision. With God's help, we tripled the revenue, engaged the audience and built a team that did amazing things. Of course, I can't guarantee your organization will grow at this rapid rate, but I can guarantee I will work as hard as I can with you to see your organization move forward.
It has been my joy to travel nationally and internationally helping and mentoring CEOs from all size organizations - working with boards with a mindset towards growth. Whether that be Australia or Africa, South America or England the same principles are needed as a CEO to lead your organization. Wherever you call home, I would love to come alongside and help you plan to grow.
Finances neglected? I can be your part-time CFO to help you understand where you are and strategize for the future.
In my work with organizations, I have discovered that finances have been neglected. Board treasurers aren't performing their role and the bookkeeper on staff may be great at paying bills but they don't have the knowledge needs to anaIyze the financials and make strategic recommendations. I am a CPA licensed in two states - Texas and Minnesota. I have a strong financial background, and I can also step into the role of being your trusted business advisor. I know CFOs are expensive so I can serve on your team and help take you beyond the numbers to help your team create meaningful reports. Proverbs 27;23 tis a great business verse because it talks about the important of knowing where you are. Do you know where you are financially and where you are going? I can serve on your team
I have over 40 years experience of leading people and organizations. I have learned some lessons the hard way, and I don't want that to happen to you! I love developing ideas and solutions for you to consider to your situation.
As a former CEO, I know it can be "lonely at the top." It can be difficult to speak with a board member since it may reflect on your evaluation. It can be even more challenging to talk to a staff member since your decision may impact them. When I was CEO, I wish I had a consultant that knew my needs and had experienced what I was walking through - somebody who knew the challenges of working with boards and leading an organization. Now there is.
