Timothy Mishler
Culinary Manager
Timothy Mishler serves as Culinary Manager at Tap House Social, where he is responsible for upholding FMK’s kitchen standards, mentoring team members, and ensuring every dish is executed with consistency, quality, and timeliness. He is passionate about building a strong, high-performing kitchen team and is especially excited to grow alongside his staff in pursuit of creating one of the best kitchens within FMK.
Originally born in Miami and raised in the Fort McCoy area, Timothy was drawn to The Villages for its laid-back, down-home atmosphere that reminds him of where he grew up. He chose to join FMK for its strong reputation and the opportunity to work alongside like-minded professionals who share his commitment to excellence and community.
Timothy believes deeply in FMK’s connection to the community, seeing it as a key reason both employees and guests feel at home. Looking ahead, his long-term goal is to open and manage his own restaurant. In the meantime, he takes pride in treating every plate as if it were being served to his own family.
Outside of the kitchen, Timothy enjoys fishing, hunting, and spending as much time outdoors as possible—preferably far from the city.
