Go-to afternoon snack: Honeycrisp apple (although it rarely makes it to the afternoon!)

Hobby: Carpentry — his dad taught him well

Best piece of advice: “Do it right the first time.”

We are proud to have Tim on the Scotia Fuels team and appreciate everything he does to keep our Service department and customers taken care of every day.
