Timothy Harlin earned his Accounting BS from OCU Meinders School of Business in 2010.

"Passionate about excellence, I bring 100% energy and focus to everything I do. Broadly speaking, I don't believe in multitasking--I need to be present and fully focused on the task at hand. I don't often mix work and family and tend to be in one world or the other. I believe that saying NO is one of the hardest skills to learn, but it is absolutely vital in our accelerated, 24/7/365 world. 

Educated in accounting, I've worked as an Executive Assistant, CFO, and most recently as a co-founder of Comma Insurance. Comma has surpassed 10 years in business and continues to grow rapidly. Today, I lead a team of nearly 50 people, and we serve clients in almost half the country."
