I’m Tim Lyons, a fourth generation Floridian and independent financial advisor in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. I’ve spent nearly 19 years helping families and small business owners plan with clarity. I started in real estate, moved into risk management, and ran my own insurance agency, where I worked with more than 200 small businesses and 400 families. From 2019 to 2024 I led a full service advisory practice at Edward Jones, then went independent and founded Lyons Resources. I listen first and build the plan before I recommend anything. I give every family the advice I’d give my own. I’m a husband, a father of four, and I mentor young adults.
