About
Prior to launching his coaching practice, Tim served as the Partner-in-Charge of the Transportation Services Group of Katz, Sapper & Miller LLP, (KSM). KSM is a nationally recognized Top 100 CPA firm and the largest and most experienced accounting and consulting firm in the country serving transportation companies. During Tim's career at KSM, he was instrumental in establishing KSM's transportation consulting affiliate, KSM Transport Advisors, and in 2000, co-founded the Scoplelitis Garvin Light Hanson & Feary Transportation Owners’ Roundtable.
Tim serves on the board of directors of the Truckload Carriers Association and the Kentucky Trucking Association and has been actively involved in multiple national and state trucking associations for over thirty years. Tim also currently serves as Secretary of the Board of Directors of the Catholic Youth Organization of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. Tim and his wife have three sons and reside in Westfield, Indiana.
An avid reader, one of Tim's all-time favorite books is the Knowing-Doing Gap, How Smart Companies Turn Knowledge into Action by Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert Sutton. The authors' research found that the knowledge gap only partially explains the performance gap in companies. They believed it was the company's ability to turn the knowledge into action that had the biggest impact on performance. Based on serving transportation and logistics clients for over 30 years, Tim believed that the authors' conclusions were spot-on for many transportation and logistics companies. Tim believed that this knowing-doing gap was the result of the companies not having a specific process to take the knowledge they had and using that knowledge to execute on a plan to improve profitability. Tim began to research various performance platforms and was convinced that Scaling Up would be the ideal platform to help transportation and logistics companies grow and transform their businesses. After completing rigorous coursework, service commitments and a peer review panel, Tim joined the ranks of more than 250 fellow Certified Scaling Up Coaches in December 2022 who have earned the prestigious certification.
