Tim McBride Gets the Job Done It is possible that Tim McBride will get more work done today than most of the people who read this story. In fact, it is highly likely. The St. Petersburg resident, now in his late 50s, has spent years proving how much value someone can contribute to a business or a community. At an age when many people are looking ahead to possible retirement, he gets out six days a week and works all day without thinking about slowing down. Tim lives with his younger sister Kelly in northeast St. Petersburg. Both of them grew up in Toledo. Their mother, a nurse by profession, discovered early that her oldest son had cognitive disabilities, and doctors diagnosed him when he was 2 years old. Kelly said their parents taught all three of their children to have a work ethic, and they took special care to instill in Tim the fact that he would need to work hard at a job to make it. When he was young, they paid someone they knew who owned a horse barn to put him to work so he would learn this concept.
