Tim McNamara played a key role in taking the design of the Global Business concentration and turning it into a dynamic and cohesive program that focuses on topics that are pertinent to the students at La Salle College High School.

Starting as a young Navy officer, Tim became interested in personal finance and set goals for savings and investing for his family. The personal finance classes that he teaches are full of life lessons that are relevant and memorable. Additionally, Tim’s experience of starting and operating Bubba Dogs for over 20 years allows him to incorporate his insights and experiences into his teaching. He has developed a wide and diverse network of professionals, and many have spoken to our students on a variety of business topics.

Keeping with our Lasallian charism, Tim puts the students at the center of his teaching. He knows his students and their interests and tailors his teaching to encompass their needs.

As a colleague, I appreciate Tim’s professionalism, insights, and willingness to jump in and help develop the Global Business concentration.

– BROTHER ANTHONY BAGINSKI, FSC DIRECTOR OF THE CONCENTRATIONS PROGRAM
