Tim was born and raised in Napa and attended Biola University in Southern California.

He runs MA Capital, LP which ...More is a long/short equity, private equity, and fixed income hedge fund. He is a Registered Investment Advisor.

Anyone who meets Tim meets a man focally passionate about investing. He is a voracious reader on the subject, with an extensive bibliography to his credit. Tim is married to his high school sweetheart, Jeanene. Together they have 4 children. He is active in his church, coaches little league and is a longtime Oakland A’s fan. As a child, Tim laughs about how he only wanted to be a Ninja. His passion for Martial Arts has lasted most of his life as he has studied Kenpo Karate, Judo, Tae-Kwon Do and most recently Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. If not a money manager, he might have taken up cage fighting. Instead he lives that life vicariously through others, knowing that is only for young men anymore.
