He has also prepared hundreds of valuation reports for businesses ranging from small sole proprietorships to corporations in excess of $100 million in enterprise value.

Before he established Allied, Tim was a principal in Skarda Equipment Company, a wholesale distributor of industrial automation equipment.

Tim was also a business consultant, where he acquired extensive experience in manufacturing, wholesale, distribution, and commercial banking. Throughout his career, Tim has built a network of relationships with business owners, executives, private equity investors and strategic buyers.

Tim graduated from the University of Kansas, earning a bachelor of science degree in business administration and an MBA in finance. He is accredited as a Certified Business Intermediary by the International Business Brokers Association, an international association of merger and acquisition advisors. He is also a member of the Association for Corporate Growth and is a licensed real estate broker in Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska.
