Introducing St. Louis' Dynamic Duo of Car Credit

Introducing the Dynamic Duo of Car Credit!


Tim O'Brien and James Thompson "JT" are the newest members to the Jim Butler South County Team. If you have ran into a rough patch and need help with rebuilding your credit, then they are your guys. Tim has been through the process himself and JT is a CPA. Together the two can help you get your finances in order and get you back on track to rebuilding your credit so you can put the words "Bad Credit" in your past. 


Tim O'Brien has spent most of his life in the hospitality industry, working his way up from a Dishwasher to a General Manager. Tim decided to take a shot at selling cars and has loved every minute of it! Tim found his niche is to help people with bad credit. Tim had been through a bad credit situation and previously filed for bankruptcy so he is very familiar with the process of rebuilding your credit. Tim is just like everyone else; 3 kids, loves to play golf and looks at life as an opportunity to positively affect other people's lives. Whether the positive impact is playing with his kids and supporting them in their pursuit to be the best at an extreme sport or to just play some video games. 


JT is somewhat of a "man who's done it all." JT has been through a lot of life experiences, different careers and made many achievements. JT actually has a 2-3 page write up in the book "St. Louis Sports Folks" by Tom Wheatley. JT spent a lot of time being a basketball referee locally for high schools and NCAA basketball. Most of JT's life has always involved accounting, whether it be financial accounting/advising, auditing or doing tax returns. JT still owns his own business that primarily does personal tax returns and will actually be doing tax returns at the dealership starting January 2nd. Other than a long list of achievements, JT has a two great kids, loves to play golf and is a huge Cardinals fan.
