MORE ABOUT TIM

  Tim was born and raised in the Twin Cities of Benton Harbor and St. Joseph, Michigan, just 25 miles north of here and is a 1985 graduate of Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island, where he earned his degree in culinary arts.

  He began his career in Atlantic Beach, Florida, a seaside town near Jacksonville, in the kitchen of The Ragtime Inn & Seafood Grille, a premier restaurant in the area. He ultimately worked his way up to the position of executive chef there and, in 1995, was selected by its owners to set up and run the kitchen of a new, and eventually, equally successful, property in nearby St. Augustine, the A1A Aleworks.

   In 1997, Tim returned to Michigan to be executive chef at the then new Lighthouse Depot & Brew Pub in St. Joseph and subsequently held similar positions at Miller’s Country House here in Union Pier and the Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City, Indiana. Early in 2001, when the owner of Gordon Beach Inn, Devereux Bowly, approached Tim about opening a restaurant in the inn, he jumped at the opportunity. Timothy’s At Gordon Beach Inn opened on May 21st, 2001.
