Vice President, Ecommerce & Digital Marketing
Tim joined BATCADDY as Director of Ecommerce & Information Technology in October 2024, after working with the company as an independent contractor and technology consultant since 2012. Tim brings more than 30 years of personal and professional experience in computer and internet related technologies, often noting that he's "been cruising the information superhighway since it was little more than a dirt road". What started as a hobby in the 1990s quickly grew into a passion for website design and development that soon shifted to a focus on ecommerce during the 'dot-com boom'.
Growing with the industry as it evolved from its humble beginnings has exposed him to countless platforms, services, languages and techniques, allowing him to thoroughly understand and effectively deploy solutions for modern day website and ecommerce challenges. Tim also has considerable experience in management, marketing, warehousing and distribution, uniquely positioning him to understand and support BATCADDY's business along with the rapidly growing BATCADDY family of walking golfers. When not spending seemingly endless hours at the keyboard, you'll often find him simply enjoying the peace and quiet from his ranch in Texas.
