Insurance Companies Don't Pay for Work Related Injuries... You Do!

Tim began his insurance career in 1975 after graduating from Florida International University.  He received his Accredited Advisor of Insurance certification in 1984.  He has taught insurance courses at the University of Miami and for various insurance associations in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and Michigan. In mid-1995 Tim joined his long time friend, Ed Gillman, in their agency located in Alpharetta.  They have adopted the slogan “Problem Solver” to differentiate their philosophy of serving their clients, and as a result, Gillman Insurance Group is one of the fastest growing firms in the Southeast.  In 2006 Tim became a Certified Worker’s Compensation Advisor, and is President of Georgia Worker’s Compensation Solutions, a division of Gillman Insurance Group. 

With over 32 years of experience in the insurance industry, and specifically Workers Compensation, Tim has some significant accomplishments under his belt:

• Successfully orchestrated comprehensive Workers Compensation reforms passed in the Florida Legislature in 1990

• Served on Atlanta Chamber of Commerce’s “Drugs Don’t Work” advisory committee
• Graduated from Leadership North Fulton in 1999
• Past Chair of the Small Business Committee of the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce, and currently serves on the Board of Directors
• Secured 250+ volunteers for the Dodge Tour de Georgia’s final leg in Alpharetta
• Currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Alpharetta Convention and Visitors Bureau 
• Current active member of the Alpharetta Rotary Club

Over the years Tim’s clients have included many landscapers, janitorial services, printers, tire dealers, contractors, boat dealers, marinas, direct mail firms, building owners, and non-profit organizations such as YMCA, Goodwill Industries, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  He insured the Superbowl and the Lipton Tennis Tournament in Miami.

When he is not helping his clients, Tim and his wife Theresa can be found working on their cabin in the mountains of North Carolina, or on their Nordic Tug on the Tennessee River.
