Tim Gerbel:  

always there for me when ever I needed someone. My father was the one who had me along with my birth mother. I meet them when I was around 22 or 23 and have 4 natural brothers. He was a Chevrolet car dealer and tought me work ethic and about business. I learned more from him in the 5 years I knew him before his death than I had most of my life. Its a long story so I won't bore you. He tought me to never give up. I have lived or was born in Seattle WA and moved to Dallas in around 1974 where I attended James Bowie Elementery School,Westwood JR High and JJ pearce High School. I moved back to seattle in 1983 then Oregon later that year. I then moved to Seattle again in 1987 as worked there until 1993 with Johnson and Rountree as a Collection Manager working on insurance subrogation claims. In Jan of 1994 I moved to Arizona where I continued to work for the same company that went thru some hostile take overs and merger accusistions. I worked with Fidelity Risk Solutions then 1Fam before leaving the company in 2006 and moving to Austin,TX to work for my brother. I love UT Football, The Dallas Cowboys and the Dallas Mavericks. I don't watch much TV as I am too busy for it. But I did watch the Bachlor and Bachelorette a few times. My biggest suprise is how much I have changed for the better and how proud I am to have three beautiful kids that are really the best a parent could hope for. My current age is 49. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be boring and pretty much done with life. I was so completely wrong as life is just begining. I still act and feel like a kid from time to time. Never grow up. My first job was at Spring Valley Country Club, where I got paid $2.65 an hour to wash dishes and bus tables. What I remember most about it is how hard the work was for such little pay. But it was a job and when you are 13 and able to get a real job payig you money to work part time, it is all alright..
