Tim Schuster

Category Manager
Murphy USA

Hello All,   I am excited to get to know each of you and build some new connections.  

A little about me....

I have 4 daughters ages 30, 25, 24, and 19 and 2 grandaughters 9 and 5.   ( a whole lot of estrogen ;))  I am an avid golfer, bowler and spend any other free time going to concerts and plays with my girls.  

I have been in the retail/restaurant industry for over 30 years.  i have worked every level in the field and have managed both alcohol and non alcohol categories in my current role.  I have been in this role for 7 years after 5 years as a DM for Murhpy USA.

My favorite part of the role, is always looking for the next big idea.  With so many options, it is exhilarating.  I wish they could all succeed, but finding the needle in the haystack is what keeps me going.
