Tim co-founded CarNow after experiencing firsthand the need for dealerships to adapt to modern shopping habits. Coming straight from the showroom, he saw the need for better tools to connect with today’s digital-first buyers—so he worked with a team to build them, and CarNow was born. As CarNow’s co-founder 10 years later, he remains a key thought leader in the industry and is regularly in the field with the sales teams building strong vendor-dealership relationships.
Tim has deep roots in automotive retail, having started his career at 17 as a salesperson at Jake Sweeney Hyundai. He later moved into leadership roles, including Finance Director at Barton Chrysler Jeep and Pre-Owned Manager at Evans Toyota, where he grew the department by nearly 50% in his first quarter. He went on to serve as General Manager and spent a decade at Hennessy Lexus of Gwinnett, where he helped the dealership lead the state in Certified Pre-Owned Lexus sales from 2011 to 2013. His success earned him a seat on the National Lexus CPO Council.
Tim’s passion for the industry extends beyond CarNow. He is the host of Tim Talks, a webinar series where he engages with top industry professionals to discuss trends and strategies shaping the future of automotive retail.
He is a husband, father, and dedicated industry advocate committed to driving innovation in automotive retail.
