Tim is a Licensed Community Association Manager and has been Park Tower’s property manager since 2007. Tim oversees the buildings day to day operations, manages the staff and vendor relationships and acts as a resource and liaison between Management, the Board and Committees. Tim particularly enjoys managing the large projects that maintain and enhance Park Tower such as the current plaza reconstruction and riser replacement projects.

One of Tim’s most notable contributions to Park Tower is his commitment to open communication with residents. A good example of this effort is Tim’s weekly “News and Updates” email that keeps residents informed about what is happening in and around Park Tower. “I have found the feedback and positive energy I get from residents and owners in response to the ‘News and Updates’ to be incredibly rewarding.”
Tim started in the industry before he was even out of high school helping his mother publish her real estate business flyers. His first position in property management was working with rental properties. He soon graduated to condo management when he moved to Chicago in 2000. Tim has been with Draper and Kramer since 2001 and enjoys the challenges from day to day, problem solving, and always looks forward to what tomorrow brings.
