Tim Sapp
Assistant Director

Team Member Since 2013

Hi OBS families! I am the Assistant Director here at Oak Brook School McKinney and have been with this amazing company since 2013! I first started with Oak Brook School at its original location in Murphy. At the end of 2019, I helped open this location and have been here ever since! It has been a pleasure thus far to bring the love and passion Oak Brook School offers to the McKinney area. When I am not at work, you will typically see me binge-watching a new TV series, spending time with my family and my fur babies, or trying new restaurants. I look forward to creating a lasting relationship with every one of you!
