 Timothy
L. Haymaker
grew up in Pineville, WV, a
small mining town of 900 people. He was
born to Harry “Red” and Imogene Haymaker
both native West Virginians. Tim graduated
from Pineville High School in 1965 and never
considered going anywhere but Marshall
University. He graduated from Marshall in
1969 with a teaching degree.
Immediately after graduating,
Tim began his first job with Proctor &
Gamble in Cincinnati, Ohio. After one year
in Cincinnati, Proctor & Gamble moved Tim to
Fayetteville, NC. Tim desired something
more and after bumping into one of his
fraternity brothers he decided real estate
was his next venture. He began working for
The Bunch Company in 1972 and then became a
partner of the real estate company Gainer,
Kirtley, Haymaker and Co. During his time
there, Tim made many contacts at Ashland Oil
and was offered the manager position of the
corporate real estate department in 1977.
After nine years of traveling the United
States making real estate deals Tim was
tired of waking up in a different city
everyday. He realized he wanted to start
his own real estate company which he did in
1989.
Today Tim owns Haymaker/Bean
Commercial Real Estate, Pinnacle Development
Company II, Haymaker Properties Inc.,
Haymaker Development Co. LLC, Castle Rock
Inc., and Keyrock LLC. Tim has partnerships
with Beaumont Investments LLC, CHM Property
Partners, Wall Street Partners and Beaumont
Shoppes LLC.
Aside from all of Tim’s
investments he is very involved in the
community. Tim has served on the MU
Foundation Board of Directors, MU Society of
Yeager Scholars Board of Directors and
University of Kentucky Business and
Economics Foundation Board of Directors to
name a few. He has been helped raise funds
for the Greater Lexington YMCA, Urban League
of Lexington, United Way of the Bluegrass
and Boy Scouts of America. Tim is a member
of the John Marshall Society. He has
received the Laurin K. Weinberg Humanitarian
Award, Jose Ferrer Memorial Award and
Volunteer of the Year award by Commerce
Lexington.
In 2000, Marshall President
Dan Angel asked Tim to head up the Campaign
for National Prominence. This has become
Tim’s passion. The campaign ends December
2005 and Tim expects to surpass the goal of
$100 million.
Tim married his high school
sweetheart, Sandy Hill in 1969. Tim and
Sandy have two sons, Andy who is engaged to
be married in early October and Matt
(deceased) and his wife Stephanie, who have
one son, Sean, who brings great joy to Tim
and Sandy. |
