When Tim started working at my parents’ shop five years ago, he didn’t know a thing about finishing. We had recently learned we were pregnant with Baby E and him taking a job with my parents seemed like a reasonable step for our family. Over the years he has taken on more responsibility and I am so proud of the way he has grown and adapted over time. I watch him interacting with customers and co-workers and I am so thankful for a man with such honesty and integrity. He’s a hard worker and has learned so much. Over the past year, much of his education has been trial by fire and yet at the end of each day he treats people with respect, owns up to his mistakes, is humble with his victories, and gives credit where credit is due. He loves Jesus and he loves his family deeply, and that is evident in everything he does.
