Tim Bottini received a BSBA from the University of Missouri St. Louis and started with Country Financial in September 1989, straight out of college. He began in Florissant, MO and successfully moved their office to St. Peters, MO in February 1993 – where Country Financial proudly serves their community. Tim currently has 3 amazing team members: Marissa Dickman, Emilie Weinrich, and Joanna Trevisano.

Tim’s journey has been filled with ups and plateaus, however he and his team are currently filled with ups. He has learned so much about himself and his business in the past 1½ years and attributes part of that growth to “amazing coaching from Tina Paulus-Krause.” One thing Tim knows about himself is he does not have all the answers, which has allowed him to always be looking to improve himself, both personally and professionally.

Tim and his team are always striving to improve themselves so they can assist their clients to achieve financial security, no matter where their clients are starting from. They make sure, from an insurance risk perspective, their clients have the right coverage at the right time. Regarding their financial house, Tim and his team provide financial planning at no cost to their clients, as planning comes first and products will follow to assist their clients’ financial plan.

In closing, Tim and his team assist their clients and protect their assets with the proper insurance products all the while helping those clients in the accumulation phase or those in the distribution phase.
