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.
