Tim always wanted to be an entrepreneur and worked his way into the hotel and restaurant business starting as a dishwasher and doing every job in a hotel starting at the age of fourteen. He found his way to Cornell Hotel School and minored in computer science. After graduation, he wanted to focus on the travel tech part of the hotel business and formed a partnership with John Prince, and together they bootstrapped Hotelplanner into a powerful hotel tech solution for group business. Known for supporting customers through listening and learning, Tim’s personal mantra is “be an expert and act like one.” The technology business is continually evolving and that requires innovation to remain relevant while maintaining a humble mindset.
