Tim Dunne

Job Titles:
  • Broker
  • Owner
Tim graduated from Pewaukee High School in 1976 and immediately accepted an offer to play Division III basketball at Waukesha County Technical College, while completing (with honors) a 2-year Associate Degree in Marketing. Subsequently, he graduated from Carroll College (University) and held various jobs while going through college, including UPS, Radio Shack, etc. After college, sales management was the career in which Tim thrived, having risen to the position of District Manager at Schaak Electronics in 1983. Being responsible for 10 retail locations and over 100 employees was an exciting challenge he took seriously and was quite successful. During his time with Schaak, he won many awards as the Top District Manager nationally within the company. The next step was a five-year stint as General Manager of Coplan TV & Appliance. This was an ideal opportunity to learn about Real Estate (and relationships), as Coplan was the top retail appliance outlet for investors and landlords throughout southeastern Wisconsin. Additionally, Mr. Dunne was engaged as the company Radio/TV spokesperson, not only creating various commercials, but orchestrating them as "live remotes" on radio as well as television. After a great deal of success in this field, Mr. Dunne decided to branch out on his own, and in 1989, founded a cellular phone company called Car Phones +. From a humble origin of two employees and a small renovated gas station as the initial location, Mr. Dunne took Car Phones + to the "Apex of the Cellular World" with 100 employees, peaking at $10 million in sales annually in the mid 1990's. Furthermore, Car Phones + was named the National "Quality Dealer of the Year" by Ameritech (then Cingular - now AT&T), which at that time had over 350 stores nationwide. This award is given to the dealer who was chosen as the best for his ability to service and support their clientele - the same spirit of "Extreme Customer Service" that Mr. Dunne employs at DCP today! After ten years in the fast-paced, burnout-laden industry of cellular communications, Mr. Dunne sold the business in 1999 and bought Little Havana Cigar Shop. Once again, wanting to grow this exciting initiative, Mr. Dunne and his partners opened Club Havana in downtown Milwaukee and had, for a period of time one of the hottest, most successful martini cigar bars in the city, complete with a walk-in humidor. Concurrent with his cellular business, Mr. Dunne was 50% owner in a Travel Agency, known as Dunne's House of Travel (DHOT). This business enterprise, while very modest in size, was extremely worthwhile in the type of influential clientele DHOT was fortunate enough to service and support.
