Tim is Burgess Steel's Chief Operating Officer. He sees his job as "a
problem solver" - an apt description to a role where the proverbial
buck stops. With a Civil Engineering and Operations Manager's background,
Tim prefers not to run from problems, but embrace them. As the coordinating
engine that puts the "service" in "customer service,"
Tim manages the communication conduits among employees, suppliers and customers.
With his direction, the Burgess CAD/CAM fabrication process maintains its
cutting edge, and the company's electronic communications technology is
ahead of the curve. Tim views the "can do" attitude as his responsibility
to imbue throughout the organization, maintaining a project's schedule or
creating alternative solutions as routine parts of the job. |

are important. Jim learned the steel business from "the ground up,"
working through the fabrication shop, welding, driving the truck, laying
out steel, estimating, purchasing and the like. With his background in Marketing,

philanthropic and family-oriented business thrusts: Jim oversees the fund-raisers,
invitational golf outings, employee and client get-togethers and milestone
events that set the company apart from others in the industry. Under his
guidance, charities such as Tomorrow's Children's Fund and The Imus Ranch
have benefited from yearly Burgess contribution growth from $15,000 to over
$400,000. |
