Meet tim - THE FOUNDER

Tim has been doing home and construction services for over 40 years. He has been a full-time teacher for 30 years, but has recently decided to retire from teaching to make I Know a Guy his full-time gig. Tim and his wife live in Lake Country, BC. They have two adult kids living in the Okanagan, one a wildfire fighter and the other a mental health worker. He also has one granddaughter who is his favourite person in the world! Tim has always been the one to say “I think I could build one of those for ya!” to everyone he knows, which is how the company name, I Know a Guy came about. If you are looking for someone to help you with a project, you will definitely want to contact Tim.
