Amy Tiemann is a multi-family investor and consultant, and President of  TM1 Properties.    Amy has a long history in construction - her grandfather started a glass  company in 1960, and her father took it over in 1972. Amy spent a lot of time going to job sites with her father. After graduating from Purdue,  with a degree in Organizational Leadership, Amy returned home. Her father asked her to join the family business, but she had other plans on her mind. Amy made the move to tech and worked in HR.  Amy worked for major companies such as Phillips, IBM, and Applied Materials. Suddenly, in 2001, she found herself going through a painful tech downturn, with the burst of the dot-com bubble. After surviving several rounds of layoffs, Amy found herself burned out in tech and HR. At the time, her husband started a small construction company. Amy realized this was her opportunity to return to a field she knew a lot about, and she was looking for a new challenge.
