"Jonathan, Mike and I met in 2004 and after meeting with multiple agencies it was easy to choose MSM. Their knowledge of ways to represent off the field in addition to their connections and communication to on field representatives allowed me to focus solely on becoming the best baseball player I could be."

Tim, was a multi sport athlete growing up where he didn’t focus solely on baseball until his senior year of high school.

Tim was drafted in the 44th round of the 2003 draft by the Florida Marlins, and made his MLB debut with Marlins on June 29th, 2009. After his career on the field came to an end in 2013, it was an easy transfer for him to enter into coaching and mentoring players in all aspects of the game.

Tim and his family, Caitlin, Zoë, and Mia live in Jupiter Florida. ​
