About

Born in rural southern Virginia to a Brick Layer WWII vet and a Christian woman whom the neighbor kids called Mama Pat or Aunt Pat, Tim was the youngest of seven children.

He earned the title of Eagle Scout with his Dad as his Scoutmaster for most of the journey and joined the U.S. Air Force right out of high school, spending 20 years traveling the world. He wore many hats in the military, including facility inspector and manager. After he retired and moved back to Virginia, Tim taught middle school U.S. History for a few years.

Tim Whitman moved to the Phoenix area in 2008 and began working as the Assistant General Manager at an extended stay Hilton property. Over his 10 years in the hotel business, he also filled in as the maintenance persona and overall inspector of the properties.

Tim decided to start South Mountain Home Watch because he saw his many friends traveling for business and having trouble finding someone to watch their place. He also saw the need near his residence in Maricopa, where great people from out of town spend their winters with us here in Arizona.
