Tim Earnhart — Principal / CEO
Whoever first said “Life’s a Journey” may not have known him, but the expression fits Werkshop CEO Tim Earnhart like a glove.
He was born in Switzerland, moved to Oregon at 7, and then arrived in his current home of Bowling Green at 19. His marketing career took root with Wendy’s Restaurants, until he purchased and rejuvenated Liberty, a full-service printing company that now uses eco-friendly inks, papers and processes. In 2005, Tim founded Earnhart + Friends — a marketing firm that started off strong and never looked back, making top-notch creative for a wide range of clients. He’s been in charge of successful campaigns for collegiate athletics, convenience retail and major financial institutions, and his knack for interior design makes life at Werkshop as comfy as it is fulfilling.
Home life: Tim and his wife, Jennifer, live in Bowling Green. They have two bright children, 12-year-old Hallie and 7-year-old Tyler, and find their greatest joy in their relationships with relatives, friends and church family.
Likes: Swiss chocolate, snow skiing, authentic Italian food, collegiate athletics, fried grouper sandwich from Seagrove Village Market in Seagrove Beach, FL.
What drives him: “There’s no greater rush than helping clients build their brands — seeing them experience growth because of their relationships with us. From coworkers to ping pong and some of the sweetest office spaces around, ‘werking’ doesn’t feel like work — it feels like a dream come true!”
