Timothy R. Busch, Founder

Tim has been a practicing attorney and CPA for nearly 40 years and is the Founder of The Busch Firm. He is also the Founder and CEO of Pacific Hospitality Group, a premier hotel development and management company with a portfolio of hotels and resorts located throughout the United States. His original business is Busch’s Markets, specialty grocery stores operating in Southeastern Michigan.

In 1992, Tim and his wife Steph co-founded St. Anne School in Laguna Niguel, California, where Tim served as Chairman and CEO for 17 years. St. Anne, now a private Roman Catholic school under the Diocese of Orange, has grown from its humble beginnings with 140 students to over 1,000 students today. Their son, Garrett, graduated from St. Anne in 2001 and their daughter, Mackenzie, graduated in 2004.

To continue the tradition of spreading Catholic education, they also co-founded JSerra Catholic High School in San Juan Capistrano, California. JSerra opened in September 2003 with 160 students and now enjoys an enrollment of over 1,125 students and will educate 1,350 students when fully developed.

Tim’s passion for wine led him to found Trinitas Cellars, LLC in 2002, located in Napa, California. Tim, along with Steph, is also an active supporter of several prominent Catholic organizations and was instrumental in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange purchasing the Crystal Cathedral.
