Ok...gang! This will be my first (of many, I hope) blog. Like I need one more thing to do...
Well, I read blog after blog and really enjoy the content and insight provided by others. I to, would like to offer some content and insight that, hopefully, others can find useful. Those of you that know me, know that I spend a lot of my time trying to figure out how to make credit union operations, better and proactively efficient; providing ways to better serve our members and to make their experience wonderful. Those of you that do not know me, well suffice it to say, know that I can be somewhat opinionated and direct while in the pursuit of the aforementioned things that are very near and dear to me.
A little about me...
I am the Chief Operations Officer at Singing River Federal Credit Union. As the title implies, I spend most days managing the ones that manage operations. However, as we all know, it is not that simple, nuf said! Over my past ten years at SRFCU, I have held several positions to include VP operations, VP, Collections and Compliance. And we all know what those jobs involve. Over the past ten years, like others, we have been in a rebuilding mode--getting the credit union into this century, adding products and honing services. Also, on occasion I venture out on speaking engagements for the industry, and other credit unions. In addition to that I try to help credit unions that have a need, that can't be filled. Now, before my tenure at SRFCU I did work for the NCUA, albeit a short lived experience. It did not take me long to figure out that I was on the wrong side of the fence, nuf said!
Beyond all of that I spent the better part of ten years in the US Army Finance and Accounting corps as an Army Finance Specialist and Budget Analyst, oh, and least we forget everything else that they told me to do. By the way, my oldest son Chris is doing us proud in the US Air Force. Unfortunately he will be deploying to Iraq in September :(. Mom is none to happy about it either.
Well, I hope my first little rant was what I intended it to be: get to know Tim. Oh, and by the way, I do have a life other than work: I enjoy my family; we enjoy camping, fishing and hiking--basically anything in the woods (I do have an extreme prejudice against SAND). We also enjoy rebuilding hotrods and restoring old cars. And we (my wife) are the proud owners of a 2010 Camaro SS, which we affectionately refer to as TNZ's Inferno and truly enjoy cruising with others.
Until next time!
Ps. Please be kind when evaluating my first blog!
I enjoyed getting to know you through your blog post Tim. For the record, I prefer the woods to the sand as well. I spent lots of time camping in the Rocky Mountains when I was a kid, but my girls and husband aren't fond of that activity. At least I can convince them to take a hike with me once in a while.
